A raccoon is another type of Snail eater, like the french ? Or, am I a raccoon ? America is full of snail eaters since it's full of snails. Virani, while you're in SoCal go out on any grassy area in the early morning after it's been watered & you'll find dozens if not hundreds of the snails used for escargot. People catch them & keep then in small cages lined with corn meal for a few days, then turn them into homemade fresh escargot.
