I remember those slimy bastards from American Samoa. They, and the frogs, would come out of everywhere when it rained. They would get run over on the roads, and when the sun came back out the smell was terrible as they would cook on the blacktop.

I love escargot but I was in Pennsylvania in the early 80's and you shouldn't run outside at night we had some giant ass snails (probably slugs) no shell 6 to 8 inches long they would drop your ass on the sidewalk in a nanosecond.
Take a parasitiology class and you'll never eat snails again.
