Abalone, traditionally. Your conventional French cuisine snail isn't bad. If we branch out into other mollusks, octopus/squid/cuttlefish are delicious.

Nothing can ever beat human flesh, but yeah I'm always lookin'.

During our seventh grade retreat we stayed in tents in a forest and one of the girls in my tent made escargot out of wild snails she caught. I kinda regret not trying them.

I had a racing snail once.

I even removed its shell to make it more aerodynamic, but that made it even more sluggish.

Cuttlefish are cephalopods! This is the gastropod thread.

Cephalopods are a class of molluscs, YOU WERE RIGHT BECAUSE PICK WAS RIGHT

I'm thinking this "Dr. Cheeto" fella isn't even certified by the AMA... but I guess the thread title is calling for a less inclusive discussion

I don't know if I'd eat a wild snail, since I associate snails with parasites (e.g. schistosomiasis), though that's probably unfair because it's freshwater snails who carry that.

Guillermo Del Toro has been trying to get his adaptation of At the Mountains of Madness produced for about 10 years now, but he's having trouble because 1) he insists on making it R-rated instead of PG-13 and 2) there's no love interest or happy ending :negative:

del toro kind of hosed up his career he will never get this made, he should have been doing every single lovely thing any studio asked him to do since Hellboy and cashed out every bit of goodwill and backroom favour to make that. The guy loves making weird dark no audience movies just bite the bullet and make the ultimate one

Thank you Mak0rz for posting chitons, I really love chitons. I can find them on the Oregon coast when I'm tidepooling. Maybe I should have made a tidepooling hobby thread.

No problem but I only just realized that chitons and gastropods are actually different classes. It's been a long time since I taught invertebrate zoology :blush:
