Can anyone provide information on the use of Cepaea (hortensis and nemoralis) as human food? Hortensis and nemoralis are the spp. of particular interest but info on other spp. would be of relevance. Literature references would be useful, also any modern day observations. I watched some locals collect similar sized snails on Rhodes some years ago whilst on holiday, but did not establish at the time what species they were gathering. Any help would be much appreciated.
