Shhh! Careful with the rat cheese or they'll decide that's worth a try too! I mean, give 'em a patently ridiculous idea, like eating frogs' legs... oh, they already do, do they?

What I liked reading the article was the thought that there are people whose job description is "snail farmer". I can just see them, getting up at the crack of dawn, putting on the worn overalls, loading bales of... whatever it is that snails eat on the tractor. Mucking out the snail pens. Probably take their prize snails over to the French equivalent of a state fair every year...

Great imagery of a "farmer"!!

I suspect the biggest fear a snail farmer has is being attacked by a terrorist with a salt shaker.
