They're not bad for learning tattoo drumming.
Or maybe a better use is for bashing maggots on the head...

How about fly sandwiches? Well, Garibaldi biscuits do look disgusting if imagined literally.

Yip, those cheeses are revolting.
Joan, I've had sea urchin in Sicily - spaghetti you'll be pleased to know Delightful.
I've had snails in the past, but it's the garlic butter I loved, not the snails.
And froggy leggies, but it's the garlic tomato sauce I loved, not the frogs legs.
Garibaldi bics are lovely too, Jeral.

Re: Food that looks as disgusting as it sounds!
I like snails, but agree, someone once pointed out that if you prepared fragments of Dunlopillo in the same way it would be pretty good
Don't like frog's legs, chicken scented with stagnant pond water doesn't do it for me and in any case I'd boycott most of the Asian imports, seldom sustainable and very low welfare generally
I once ate two whelks as the amuse bouche in a Paris restaurant, and was promptly given two more, apparently the first Brit even to sample them (they were delicious)

I think whelks are going out of fashion a bit here - they're standard fare on the formerly eponymous seafood stalls, but less popular than formerly. I can't think there's anything objectionable about the flavour, quite the opposite, but the texture might be considered challenging. Maybe some people don't like the look of them either.
Apart from the odd half pint off a stall I've certainly had them as a component on an assiette de fruits de mer either side of the Channel.

Re: Food that looks as disgusting as it sounds!
I love whelks(bulots). Funnily enough one of the starters on the menu on Sunday was bulot tartare. A French lady at the next table asked what that meant.
Not my choice on that day but they did look good,
I'm the same as you about frogs legs Sue. I have eaten them but only if they are from Bresse and they were rather good. When the kids were little M ordered them and then proceeded to make them (the frogs legs) do the can can on the edge of the plate. That was after we had passed a sign outside a restaurant which announced the dish of the day as Frog and Chips.

In the late 1960s, I went on a school trip to Spain. We travelled overland and stopped in Paris for a meal - which was frog and chips
