@japhroaig just reminded me
of the most delicious meal I ever had in my life, at least that’s how it seemed at the time.
A car trip to Portland, ME from upstate New York with a friend, towing his small wooden sailboat. Sailed out to some tiny, deserted rocky island near Portland and camped overnight. When the tide went out, we built a small cooking fire and picked snails off the rocks, boiled them, removed them from their shells, and sauteed them in butter. I think we added them to some cooked ramen noodles. I felt bad for the snails and still do feel bad, but it was the most delicious meal I’d ever had.
