Sane Snail Advice

From Jane Grigson's book Good Things:

If you are likely to eat stuffed snails regularly, it's worth investing in snail tongs and forks (as well as in snail plates.) One can manage quite efficiently, though, with a pile of paper napkins, and a set of needles stuck into corks.

Now that's the kinda practical advice that the CC loves rather than the modern purveyors of flim-flam devices!
