Los caracoles aka snails are in season here in Cordoba and there are about 30 stands around town selling cups of snails. Its very common right now to see people sitting outside in the sun sipping beers and eating cups of snails. One type is very small and in a broth with spearmint and the other type is bigger and is in a salsa with cumin. I tried the big ones only because I didn't want to order my own and that is what the people at my table were eating. Everyone says the small ones taste better tho. As, you can see from the expression on my face in the video I was absolutely disgusted. Mainly because I have had a phobia my whole life involving slugs and snails. In my opinion they are slimy, disgusting blobs of flesh and I still can't believe I ate one. Yuck!! BUT I must say the flavor wasn't bad. There was a little issue for me however with the texture and my mind taking over. I felt as tho I could feel the antennaes and head kind of crunching in my mouth. Just a tiny crunch but nevertheless a crunch. Ya feel me? And with my imagination playing tricks on me, I gagged pretty good. I apologize for the video being sideways but the lady filming didn't know what she was doing and I was too overwhelmed by the whole experience to help her get it right.
