Pretty much.
If you feed regular garden snails for a week or so on a diet of clean greens and water, you can toss them into a pan with some oil, onions, white wine and garlic and eat them.

i thought that the slime trail of a snail was poisonous
or is that the slime trail of a slug that is poisonous.
I once watched a snail crawl up the side of my greenhouse, it was fascinating watching what was going on under its foot through the glass.

Slugs apparently taste manky
which is why they can get away with not having a shell. I don't know if they're poisonous though.

i can understand the shell of a snail being its defense
but the birds eat slugs as well don't they ? Don't they ?

hedgehogs eat them.

They'll eat KFC.
I wouldn't trust a hedgehog as far as I could spit one.
