The classic appetizer "escargot" in French cuisine. It is an ingredient that is not very familiar in Japan, but in France, more than 3 billion animals are consumed annually. A long time ago, there was news that the successful cultivation of escargots in Japan.

The escargot farming kit "GROW YOUR OWN ESCARGOT" is on sale in the UK.


"GROW YOUR OWN ESCARGOT" is a kit developed not only for people who like to eat escargot as French food, but also for people who want to keep snails as pets. It features a transparent dome shape so that it can be used as an "interior" where you can enjoy watching the snails move slowly.

The kit includes 6 snail babies, food, and breeding instructions. If you continue to take care of it according to the instructions, it will grow to a size that you can eat in 4 to 6 months. Unexpectedly, it takes time. By the way, the taste of escargot seems to change slightly depending on the food. By cultivating at home, you can finish it to your taste.


However, many people feel attached to the snails that have been carefully raised for nearly half a year, and they cannot eat them. I don't know how it feels, but the kit also comes with an escargot recipe.


The movement speed of snails is about 6 meters per hour. Some people say that they are healed when they see a snail living in a time flow that is completely different from that of humans.

It is sold by the British online shop FIREBOX, but unfortunately the kit can only be exported to the UK.
