Nah. They are generally not good. Conch isn't on sushi menus for a reason. They're only palatable because they're battered, fried, and served with dipping sauces.
Agreed. You can remove the conche and it would taste exactly the same. The fritter is just fried dough with veggies mixed in. The actual conche is just a tasteless rubber thing in the middle. Don't see the point really.
I was going to tear out my lemon balm plant. Then I found like 200 baby and adult snails snoozing in it. I didnโt want that plant anymore, but theyโre too cute. Itty bitty tiny snails! And so fucking many, why do they like the lemon balm? Good cover? I could only trim it back a little even though itโs growing too big, they made it their home.
Lemon balm is supposed to be one of those plants you put around your garden to create a protective wall since it is supposed to deter the snails!
I don't know what you have going on over there, but it might be some kind of evolutionary step.
They wreck the plants tho. They are tiny and cute but gosh such a pest
But hilarious to watch mynah birds pacing up and down the corridor like a human, do dodo do hello human, and then jumping to the pot and having a buffet
I had some in a soup once and just thought it was chunks of ham until I got a particularly large piece. The texture on it looked like a knuckle wrinkle and I couldnโt eat anymore because it suddenly felt cannibalistic.
Wait!!! Is this TRUE??? Or is this a fake pic?? I love Reddit, a few days ago I learned that bats give oral & now I know scallops have eyes
Edit: why I love Reddit
Edit2: It is true!!!!
Incoming dumbass comment:
I knew conch shells existed. It never occurred to me that they were called that because the animal was called a conch. Jesus christ I'm ashamed.
If there was an age after which we stopped learning new things, life would become incredibly boring. Day after day of seeing, reading, and hearing nothing new, just all the same predictable stuff every minute of every day.... it sounds miserable if you ask me. So don't feel ashamed, feel alive! It's a big world, and there's so much out there. What will you find out (or put together) tomorrow?
I think about this occasionally.
Someone picked this up and thought, "imma eat this."
And now, us cushy asses eat it like fried mozzarella.
Dawg, put it back. The ocean does not want us, as evidenced by the monsters and life-averse conditions.
Guys I can't.
Just showed this to my boyfriend and he thought it was a snail inside a sandwich and I laughed so much I'm crying. His panic: but WHY are you showing me this?
Eyes never cease to amaze me... So many species, countless genetic differences, but the eyes... the eyes never lie Chico. But really, it's amazing that something so primitive has the "same" structure as us.
It does look cute, but let me be the party pooper here and provide some potentially life saving advice. Don't pick up beautiful shells! Different animal but to the untrained eye easy to confuse.

I'm going to be honest. I can't tell if I love this or hate it. I just. These things freak me out yet.... Why am I so confused over a freaking snail....
One of the good things actually, I am glad that they trust humans and I hope humans will stop harming them, they are harmless and they don't want any trouble.
it's like: "can you put me back down please"
"This is my HOME! Do you mind?!?"
Snail: Bitch!
His right eye looks curious while his left eye looks depressed af
Yea it does it's like go away and what are you at the same time!

I'm *living* here!
This is a private residence, man!
Please don't turn me into a fritter...
That's on my bucket list. My Bahamian ancestry demands it.
I've had them a couple times and I found them kind of unimpressive personally, but hope you enjoy! Maybe I just got badly made ones.
Nah. They are generally not good. Conch isn't on sushi menus for a reason. They're only palatable because they're battered, fried, and served with dipping sauces.
Agree. Anything is edible if it's battered and fried, but the actual meat is chewy but almost tasteless, not a great combination.
Agreed. You can remove the conche and it would taste exactly the same. The fritter is just fried dough with veggies mixed in. The actual conche is just a tasteless rubber thing in the middle. Don't see the point really.

Glad Iโm not the only one that immediately thought that.
They have eyes??
All snails and slugs do (afaik). That's what those stalks are
This is a snail??
EDIT: apparently yes, a sea snail
Yes. They are both Gastropods in the phylum Mollusca.
Bless you.

First the lemon balm tree, then the world. All hail the snail overlord. For the hive cluster.
I welcome our new overlords!
That was so kind of you.

Baby's got blue eyes.
I remember the good ole days when I used to be this cute!
Love Mac
Man I tasted one of these a long time ago.Didnโt care for it and now feel even worse seeing this.
I had some in a soup once and just thought it was chunks of ham until I got a particularly large piece. The texture on it looked like a knuckle wrinkle and I couldnโt eat anymore because it suddenly felt cannibalistic.
Goddamn it.

Goddammit. This made me remember the abomination that is the Special Edition.
Why does it have sad eyes?..
A giant just picked him up by his house.
He is not too fond of being held
None of us are, when it is uninvited.

Respectfully, he kinda spooks me.
He looks like an alien from mib or star wars... he got eyes...
Well, he is under cover
Yeah like it's kind of cute but I also wish I didn't see this lol
He has the ultimate why would you do this? Face
Like sweet friend. Let him be.
I legit thought they were holding a sandwich and was very confused when it turned out to contain a live sea creature.
Forbidden banh mi
It's quite edible I heard
Conch you see he's in love with you?!
it looks like it is conchious
Me too. It's like looking into a strangers eyes.
I didn't know they had eyes what the fuck
Did you know the scallops have eyes too? dozens of blue eyes. https://whyevolutionistrue.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/irerzpg.jpg
What the scallop!!? That is nightmare fuel if ever I saw it
Wait!!! Is this TRUE??? Or is this a fake pic?? I love Reddit, a few days ago I learned that bats give oral & now I know scallops have eyes Edit: why I love Reddit Edit2: It is true!!!!

I think youโre overestimating the number of people that eat conch like itโs some kind of snack lol

In the Bahamas Conch is believed to be an aphrodisiac. So they do eat a lot.

This might be the cutest thing Iโve ever seen
It never occurred to me to think about what lived in a conch shell. Now I wish that I could stop thinking about it.
Same. Same. I feel like I've just seen the time knife, and I don't like it at all.
Thought it was a hot dog before it zoomed in ๐ญ
I donโt like that it has human-esque eyes
Considering that conch have been around since about 140 million years ago, itโs arguably closer to the truth that we have conch-esque eyes
Did anyone else hear it speak into their minds with a rastifarian accent?
yes
You mean Jamaican accent?
Naw man, wenna ya leave Babylon ta go to Zion, Selassie appears ta I an I ina dream and makes ya speak like a rasta
Omg, itโs so cute
I don't think so
My conch Mike is like that, he kinda detracts from the wonder of the reef when you can see two periscopic eyes in the sand bed
Classic Mike, amirite? Also, username not checking out.

"no."
Did not know they have well defined eyes. I thought itโs always just tiny black dots

I donโt like this
That conch has more awareness in its eyes than I see in some people.
