I can't tell the difference, but I don't see any grass snakes here.
I do see snails' eggs, which are white and about 3/16" diameter.
I pour boiling water over them...


I'm told that they can be used as a caviar substitute.

NO!! I hope someone knows the difference between grass snail eggs

Grass snails? Coo!

But snails' eggs are pretty large, especially the Roman snail, which

garlic.


What happened about snail caviar? Was it just a passing thing?


Caviar rays!
