Shell shocked

He stood there for at least two minutes.
Couldn't believe it.
So it was true. It wasn't just some myth, some joke at his expense concocted by the mates at work. The Frogs do eat snails. 
He just couldn't believe it. 
But to have the cheek to fill a section of the deep freezer in his local Lidl with the frozen slimy bastards, now, that was taking it a step too far. 

I sort of woke him from his horrified reverie with a rather Gallic-sounding "exciouze mee", and grabbed two trays of the delightful gastropods in garlic and parsley butter. 

Finn ate his first escargots today. He wasn't just a little bit chuffed. He can't wait to tell his mates on Monday morning.
