Adopt a snail is the latest slogan to appear on our stalls. Jim Hunter of Aylesford, a master wood craftsman, has produced some beautiful snails for us to sell. We have three versions. The top one is sycamore with the pattern of a shell burnt into it. The middle one is plain pale sycamore and the lower one is made in oak. Jim has used the grain of the wood to represent the shell in these two.
We are looking forward very much to appearing at West Malling Farmer's Market www.westmallingfarmersmarket.co.uk on the fourth Sunday of each month starting in November. We will be serving hot snails in garlic butter as well as selling snail canapes and smoked snails for you to take away and eat at home. The wooden snails will be on sale there but can also be ordered by phone or email and sent by post.
Live snails are currently available from Derek the butcher at the Goods Shed Butchery in Canterbury. He has them for sale on Saturdays and they can be ordered at any time.
