Preparation
 
Preparation time 3 hours. Cooking time 2 1/2 hours. Starve the
snails for at least 8 days, then wash them in several changes of
water until clean. Rinse with vinegar, then drain. Place the snails
in a saucepan of boiling water with the thyme, bay leaf, basil,
orange peel and pork rind. When the snails are almost cooked, drain
them and remove them from their shells.
[I guess boiling them makes it easier to remove them from their
shells. --mkm] Brown the snails in olive oil with the fatty bacon,
very finely chopped [I assume the author means chop the bacon first.
~-mkm], the ground walnuts, anchovy fillets, crushed garlic and salt
and pepper. Thicken the mixture with the flour, then serve on a bed
of spinach. [Make sure you wash all the grit off the spinach first.
~-mkm] Rose, red or white wines: Tavel, Chusclan, Coteaux
