they are not inherently poisonous, but they can become poisonous with the plants they eat, but I think if you give them wheat flour and lettuce for 2 weeks (or more...) , they can be prepared after starving 4 or 5 days, as I say in the site.
EASY RECIPE
goat cheese stuffing for 100 snails (previously cooked in court bouillon):
400 g of goat cheese ( or greek feta )
100 g of butter
4 cloves of garlic (finely chopped)
salt
Knead all together in order to obtain a smooth paste and use it as you would "beurre à la bourguignonne".
Escargot with mushrooms:
Clean and cut mushrooms. Saute, with a little garlic or onion according to your taste, for about 5 minutes, stop when there is no more water. Season with salt and pepper, add snails (previously cooked, even still frozen) and a glass of white wine.
When wine is well reduced, add the above butter, or beurre à la bourguignonne. It is optional to add a little Cognac. Stop cooking when butter begins to bubble and serve in special plates.
An alternative : replace the butters with cream and chopped tarragon.
