I love snails... can't wait to get back to CY at Christmas for a big bowl of them...  |
Freaked me out the few times i have seen people eat them, what do they taste like???? |
Like large rubber pellets in your mouth. I thought I would be open minded and try some and ended up not being able to eat anything for several days. I'll take Alaskan King Crab any day. |

Try some at Zannettos.
Directions to the restaurant: Turn right at the OXI roundabout, towards old Nicosia center. Walk for about 800 meters, past the Omerie mosque and a small cafe square. The restaurant is to your right. |

Thanx for the directions respiridus. I think I'll pass though. You know that saying I'll try anything once? Well I did.
Now I want moose to put a proviso in his plan that Cyrus shall be a snail free zone.  |

Are you proposing to evacuate just the Greek-Snails, just the Turkish-Snails, or both? Surely, the Greek-Snails will all go crying to the UN, complaining about the violation of their Snail Rights by the human colonists! |

And let's not forget about the Turkish-Snails:
They will claim that after 400 centuries of being an oppressed minority in their own country, they are entitled of a Turkish-Snail only part of Cyprus for their own. |
