#also gave me the mental image of the Cartwright boys riding giant snails

[basingstokemercury]

I was just looking at a sausage which was coiled up in a spiral, and it reminded me that Germans call a cinnamon roll a "cinnamon snail" because of that shape. And my mind objected "you don't need to create a 'meat snail', snails are already made out of meat!" From there I immediately leapt to "a whole genre of Westerns, and specifically Bonanza, except they ranch colossal snails instead of cattle". You're welcome.

Oh I love that image!

I keep kosher so I have no idea what snail meat is like, but now I'm wondering how it would be scaled up to the size of a beef cow...
