…..and their name is S. Car Go.

This must be set in the future when our Gastropod overlords rule the galaxy.

You don’t look like a snail.

Maybe the snails are just shy.

Never thought of Roz’s Roost as a place to get exotic food like snails.

Not so sure I would want to eat them—-the way Roz cooks ! ! !

A snail somewhere got offended

“Do you serve crabs?”“Yes sir. Have a seat.”

That’s a funny one, Roz.

“ You would think that in a fancy restaurant at these prices you could keep the snails off the food! There are so many snails there you can’t even see the food!”

Snails and eels. . .two things I can’t even contemplate eating. . .

Outside of tasting a lot of garlic and salt, there was no taste. They were just really chewy, similar in that regard to octopus or squid.

I have memories of eating snails at a nice restaurant. They were served in their shells and every time I tried to pick one up with the tongs it fell out, rolled across the tablecloth and dropped on the floor. We couldn’t eat for laughing!!

It’s escargot you should’ve asked for, man.

What do they order?

It’s out of this whorled.

Do you serve shrimps. Sure what would you like?

Nice play on words.

Yes, we will server anyone (or anything).

Reminds me of the story of the snail who wanted to be a race car driver. He got himself a race car and painted a bright red S (for snail) on the sides of the car.

That way, the fans in the stands could say “Look at the S car go”.

So, yes to both questions.

We serve anyone.

Yes, but only if they are wearing shirts and shoes.

Whenever snails come out of their shells, they feel a a bit sluggish.

It may take some time.

Why do the French eat snails?

They hate fast food.
