papaya Hej pozdrówka :)
Lesley 🙂 We don't have big snails. Just very tiny dark brown ones. Good pic!
papaya Edible snail (winniczek) is the largest land snail in Poland with a shell diameter of about 5 cm. It is sometimes exported from Poland to France, where it is considered a delicacy.
The original range of this snail in Poland probably covered only southern Poland (Malopolska, Upper Silesia, Rzeszów area). The remaining areas were moved by man.
Most contributed to this monk (among them Cistercians), who from the Middle Ages cultivated the winniczka in the gardens and monastery parks. They used the meat of this snail as a supplement to the protein deficient in dietary protein used in long-term diets, because - like fish - snails were considered a fast food.
