In the southern region, where paddy fields are dense and the river network is developed, snails are a common food source, and snails made from them have become one of the essential snacks to accompany wine. In fact, the snail should have been written as "snail", in order to suck the snail, due to the miswriting and misinformation of the people, it was finally called "snail".

Picking out the meat of a toothpick or sucking it on is a way to eat a snail, and this creature that grows widely in lakes, ponds, and fields has a different flavor when cooked with seasonings such as shiso, chili, and mint. Properly handled screws will not have an earthy smell, but full of umami, with the blessing of several spices, fresh and spicy intertwined, fragrant, and delicate snail meat.

If you want to eat high-quality snails, you can't cut corners in the production process. Fresh snails should be fed with water to allow them to spit out the sediment, and the tips of the snails should be cut off during handling. Some restaurants will even take the initiative to dispose of the intestines, if the restaurants do not do so, diners should be aware that the intestines may carry parasites and cannot be eaten normally.

In summer and autumn, poisoning incidents caused by the consumption of snails occur from time to time, among which weaving snails and Fushou snails are the main sources of toxicity. Therefore, diners who love snails should be cautious about this, and should give preference to regular restaurants, and choose fresh snails when cooking at home, so that the best way to remove the intestines is the best treatment.
