It's a well known fact that snails are a delicacy in France and us 3 girls, Janelle, Ana and Ashleigh decided it was a must - we had try them. We tried to delay this for as long as possible, but we knew that our time in France was coming to an end.

So on our first night in Toulouse we went out to dinner to La Boucherie (in English, The Butchery). And for entrée the 3 of us ordered 6 snails to share. As it arrived to our table we could smell the strong aromas (garlic). Our initial reactions weren't great.

We let it sit there for a while we built up the courage to take on this challenge.

First it was Ashleigh's turn, and refusing to take a look at them, Ana spoon fed her. Ashleigh definitely wasn't a fan.

Ana was a little more game than Ashleigh, and fed herself. She handled the taste mush better. She wouldn?t eat it again though.

Janelle was the enthusiastic of us all. After no fuss from her first snail Janelle was ready and willing to have another go. And before we knew it her second snail was gone.

Our next challenge which none of us are willing to attempt is the hole in the ground female toilets....
