 Newts were considerd in times of starvation, believe me. 
 I was in the garden the other day and thought 🤔 if there were a shit hits the fan, societal collapse, catastrophic type event... 

Would snails be a good source of food?

 They absolutely would. 
 Just eat humans.  
 Yes. You just have to purge them first. 
 Escargot 
 Yeah this is what I was thinking. But I was wondering if the common garden snail is the same. Or would be somehow poisonous lol 
 Good point. Some snails are poisonous. The flavor of the snails used for escargot tastes amazingly like butter and garlic (i.e. there is virtually no flavor from the meat).

It would be wise to ID your snails to see if they're poisonous. Who knows, you might find a variety that has a good flavor. 
 I'm not planning on doing this unless absolutely necessary lolol. But thank you:) 
 No pics? Bummer! 😜 
 Gotta KYC those suckers 😂 
 I will be eating the grubs first, they are high in protein.
