H. Rudall
What do they know of snails who only their gardens know ? Very little. And even if one has eaten fine escargots in France or Soho one hasn't learned much about the beasts. (Incidentally, the generic name of the snail family, ' gastropods ', is not directly connected with gastronomy; it only means ' stomach-footed '.) Mr. Rudall will not talk about the snails he has eaten, however, but about the snails he has studied-particularly the snails of New Zealand, which have some peculiarities of their own.
