Snails are more commonly a delicacy of France

Snails are more commonly a delicacy of France

Snails have never featured heavily in our diet – nor has farming them for that matter.

It is something we have generally left to the French – but no longer.

We now have our very own snail farm – in the Hawke’s Bay.

And the snails are so good they are finding their way into some of our finest restaurants.

Foodies in the know are saying they are even better than the French ones.

Campbell Live stayed up late to visit the country’s only commercial snail farm.

This is a great news story and is important. It highlights two families who have worked extremely hard to establish and promote a sustainable,agricultural enterprise that has the potential to contribute significantly to the economy of New Zealand. The entrepreneural flair demonstrated by Raywynne and Jaye should be encouraged and applauded.

Campbell live have such a long period of time compared to other news outlets to discuss stories. Congradulation to this lady but shouldnt this time be used on more important things? I havnt heard anything of the darfur crisis or about the gaza strip this would be a prime time to explain to the public WHY these things are happening instead of focusing less critical events. Viewers ARE interested in these things!
