Hordes of French gourmets joined forces at an annual snail festival at the weekend to munch their way through a record 100,800 gastropods, organisers say.
"We've beaten all our previous records, despite the rain," said Jacky Pommier, who helped organise the festival in Digoin east of Paris.
"We had many more people than last year, with lots of holiday makers from all over France and abroad too.
"Many enthusiasts would eat five to seven dozens in a single meal."

Too slow for me. I prefer pizza.
The thought of eating snails is almost enough to put me off my pigs trotters and tripe !
