Japanese BBQ – Snail

I have been in Japan for a while now. I even eat sushi. Heh.

Seriously though, a while ago I went to a barbecue with some friends and something I really, could not even attempt to eat was served. No way.

First of all, Japanese bbq’s usually consist of Korean style “yakiniku”, vegetables including green peppers, various types of mushrooms, asparagus, carrots, pumpkin, and other stuff.

It looks like like this. There is only one piece of meat in this picture, but it’s cause we were kinda at the beginning stages.

Anyway. This surprised me. And I didn’t even try it. It’s called “Sazae” in Japanese.

I think we call it “snail” in English. GIANT FREAKIN’ SNAIL.

Don’t get me wrong, I have eaten snail before, in a little soup I had in Belgium… But this, this is like, giant snail… No way man.

I’ll be able to eat “uni” before I can eat this. I’m sure.
