For my special birthday surprise weekend away my friends took me to Slough, where we had a cup of coffee at the Costa in the Queensmere shopping centre! Then we hadlunch! Then we went home!
The snail porridge is nothing like you imagine it to be. It is oatmeal cooked in an unbelievably fabulous stock (and something green which I can't quite identify) making a risotto-like base, with the snails on top (which are essentially just like seafood), and some shavings of ham for salty wonderfulness.

See, I'd want it clearly labelled....
I've never eaten snails or seafood, but feel fairly sure they wouldn't agree with me. I'm one of those really unadventurous types; basically if I didn't already like something when I was about 10, I won't now. Still, it leaves all the more for you pioneers!
