Okinawa-rama

I have never in my life seen so many snails as I've seen here, slinking up and down the side of our house and every other building in Okinawa. At first I thought they were cute with their little antennae probing the air, and felt guilty at the sound of a crunch of a wayward snail underfoot. But not anymore. First of all, the number of snails has gotten to "ewww gross" proportions. Second, they are destroying my plants. (That's supposed to be my job!) I find myself wondering more and more if they are edible. Anyone know any good escargot recipes???
