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.

The name ' Soho ' . first appears in 1632 in the rate-books of St. Martin-in-the-Fields as 'So Ho'; it is derived from a hunting cry and must date back to the time when the land west of Holborn and Drury Lane was open country. The ill-fated Duke of Monmouth had a house in Soho Square-then called King's Square—and ‘ Soho ' was the watch-word of his men at Sedgemoor.
It was at that very time, too, that Soho began to be the haunt of foreigners, for the French invasion of Soho began after the revocation of the Edict of Nantes in 1685. Greek Street, incidentally, takes its name from a colony of Greeks who built a church on the site of St. Mary the Virgin, Charing Cross Road.
