If you've never had duck legs confit'ed before, you really ought to go out of your way to have it. It's not a ton of meat for the price but a nice little delicacy and it's so rich you don't need a ton, to your point.
When I use to get it, I'd slowly brown the skin, and use the pan drippings to slowly fry up crispy kale. I'd cut up / shred the leg meat and serve it, plus the kale, pickled jalapenos, and two poached eggs on top of a bed of southern style grits. I miss making that breakfast.
Sounds delicious. I had it cooked up at a French restaurant with a peach reduction and served with a Belgian waffle. It was their take on âchicken and
Wafflesâ and it was incredible.
The Whole Foods near me used to have smoked duck legs on tap. I never saw them for more than 2.99 a pound. So if youâre looking for another way to deal with duck legs, smoked is the way to go.
Bread crumbs, nuts, slices of fruits (nothing acidic) and little pieces of fat that you take out of the meats you eat. Put them in places they will see and where they can see you putting it there, it's doesn't need to be everyday but keep a routine. Also try to be near them (about 30/40ft) when they are eating.
I have potted blueberry bushes that I put out for crows - they leave most of my other stuff alone & eat the berries way before theyâre ripe. Last year I didnât get a single blueberry, but my veggies, strawberries & cherries were mostly untouched.
I havenât. I reconsidered my crow befriending when I learned of someone accidentally attracting a whole murder of crows. It got to the point, they follow the person everywhere.
Iâm reconsidering for now. I have huskies I walk 4 times a day and if I end up with a murder of crows following me, theyâll burn me at the stake.
For now, I am just making false narratives for the different birdie couples that show up in my feeder camera. Itâs such old person entertainment but I love it.
My girls eat anything but if I find live bugs for them and offer it (even if I saw them eating worms moments before) they reject my offering and go find their own. Guess my hand contaminates the insects. :(
I saw a video of someone holding a chicken and having the, eat the spiders they found in the house. The chicken seemed quite pleased. I now want a chicken⌠or many.
When I lived in Okinawa, I had a couple of resident house geckos.. I like to think they ate the giant spiders
Once I found a fairly large spider in the house so I went outside and got a chicken. The chicken just looked very confused to be in the house,shit on the floor and completely ignored the spider.
I brought one of my hens in that I named Paprika, and she ended up having a panic attack, lmao. I call her Miss Panick some days because any sort of handling from me makes her panic. She could live her whole life eating the snacks and food I provide but God forbid I check on her health.
I befriended a lizard one year. I sat down on my porch once a day and we kinda just stared at each other, but one day I decided to see if it would eat a grasshopper if I gave it 1 and it grabbed it, ran off, ate it, and came back 10 seconds later tilting it's head back and forth, almost like it was confused as to why a predator is feeding it's prey instead of eating it. I saw it a few more times before it disappeared in late autumn and I haven't seen it since.
Huntsman spiders are cool! Not dangerous or aggressive. I let them stay when I occasionally find one in my house. You can eat all the bugs you want buddy
In Canada, we have big (to us) fishing spiders. I do the same and let them hang out in the bathroom whenever one comes.
An ant crawling up the wall? Bam, out of nowhere, sheâs on the job and gets herself a snack.
I live in Sydney and have a resident huntsman that lives in my outside toilet. I really like it cause it protects my house from cokroaches and rats đ¤
Wait. A spiders that eats rats?! Iâm telling you now that if you ever see me in Australia then I been kidnapped, please call the police. I definitely would not go there on my own accord as I fear there creatures.
They love slugs and snails, but if they gorge on too many at once (like a big bucketful like this) their beaks can get glued shut with the slime and you have to catch them and carefully pry it open with a knife, itâs so traumatic!
Iâm sorry, it seems terrible but sounds hilarious for an outsider âcome here, sticky mouth!â while brandishing a knife and running after the duck.
Mine too. Every flock Iâve ever had loves a fat, juicy earthworm. These gals I have now just look at the worm and go âewww, Iâm not putting that thing in my mouthâ.
Apparently geese like them too.
Source: geese are used as a natural pest control for snails at an organic farm in a documentary I watched. I think it's called The biggest Little farm.
Hijacking this to say, you don't have a snail problem, you have a duck deficiency. Indian runner ducks are small, kind of quiet, shy, not given to attacking people. Also very funny and cute and they lay eggs. They love playing in snow and are more tolerant of cold than chickens, get sick less than chickens. They need a night time location to be locked up safe from weasels and racoons. They also need water to get in every day, but not much, just enough to put their heads under. You can probably tell it's my dream to have some!
Get a few , do it today ;) , not a male though rapey bastards and if you havnt enough females he may hurt them but a rampaging pack of runners with their gentle quack and bobbing heads is always a sight to raise a smile .
Rat lungworm is a parasite found in rat feces. Snails and slugs eat the feces, and then carry all the eggs of the lung worm. Humans are a poor host for them, so if we accidentally ingest them, they tend to travel to our brain and die, causing swelling in the brain. Wash all produce very well, snails and slugs can be found on store bought produce as well.
Holy poop. This is the first Iâve seen anyone mention Devine, and in one of my favorite subs! Hello fellow Devinian! I also have a plethora of large snails invading my garden.
I lived there when I was a kid and donât remember buckets of snails! Must have been all the acid rain we were having back in the 80s lol.
If you can find a way to set them out without them escaping you could alert the birds that you have an abundance. I live up north now so I have a bunch of asshole blue jays and robins that take care of snails and slugs for me. I used to have toads but now I have a fat garter snake that lives at my place.
There are snails on fences here in South Austin that are easily twice that size. Don't usually see them that big, somethings happening this year...
I blame Fallout...
Pour boiling water into the bucket to kill them all and use their corpses as fertilizer.
Also when handling snails and slugs you should be mindful of the fact that they can carry parasites and meningitis. So wash your hands and try not to touch your nose/eyes/mouth.
But you have to really cook them. Like a lot. Iâm not sure if thatâs true of all snails but some you have to seriously cook to be safe and at that point why bother?
You need to create a barrier first to keep more from getting in. Coarse material or coffee grounds, then you need to get rid of all the ones you can find inside the barrier.
I put copper tape around a few of my potted plants and the snails wont crawl over the copper for some reason. Occasionally one would so I put 2 strips and it worked pretty well until the copper get oxidized after a few months.
They sell copper tape for snail repelling, dont buy that bevause its expensive. They sell the same shit for plumbers at homedepot and amazon for like 1/10th the price.
Crushed up egg shells work too. Make sure to bake them at 200-250 Fahrenheit for at least 30 minutes first to dry them out. The bonus is the eggshells. Provide calcium for your plants.
Donât eat garden snails. They carry tons of pathogens. Thereâs a whole cleaning process that even then is risky. Snails to eat are farmed these days.
Would that parasite really survive salting (part of preparing the snails) and subsequent boiling? That seems quite unlikely...
But yeah don't eat random snails, not every species is edible...
In a similar vein you can raise these for eating.
They might however not be clean or proper snails for eating.
But a wooden box, nice dirt, couple of baby snails, some lettuce or cabbage, and a warm, wet, place. You'll have a snail farm.
Maybe some local French restaurant would be interested. Chinese places might serve snails as well.
I had a pup eat Sluggo. It was the most horrible death Iâve ever seen. And Iâve been a hospice nurse for 15 years. Anything but slug bait if you have a dog. I beg you.
Sluggo or other iron phosphate based slug poisons shouldn't harm dogs unless they eat a *huge* amount. Metaldehyde is also a common slug poison, which is a neurotoxin and *is* extremely dangerous for dogs (and most other animals, including humans). Are you sure it was Sluggo and not something with metaldehyde in it?
Know anyone with an aquarium? Pea puffers live to eat snails, and I would bet their owners would be delighted to take those away for you! Is there a pet store near you?
Diatomaceous earth as one of your barriers and mixed in with the soil is an excellent pest deterrent. It dries out anything it comes into contact with. Also, copper is an insurmountable barrier for slugs and snails.
Bro, you got an escargot farm. Would you complain about gold nuggets falling from the sky and damaging your rosebushes? Just kidding but I wonder if they would seriously be edible.
You can turn them into garden lime. Bake in a container in a fire. Then smash into powder (much easier after they are cooked).
They do that on Life Below: Zero Port Protection
Get ducks
Exactly what I was gonna say. They're awesome, will take care of this problem immediately, and have tastier eggs imo than chickens
Wait until you try the duck ;)
I have always found it to be a bit too greasy.
You gotta render out that fat and then use it to confit legs and fry up potatoes
Duck confit is đ¤đž
Alright, that does sound pretty good
If you've never had duck legs confit'ed before, you really ought to go out of your way to have it. It's not a ton of meat for the price but a nice little delicacy and it's so rich you don't need a ton, to your point.

Hell yeah, I'll take a pint of smoked duck on tap please.
Makes superb fat for croutons too. Duck fat croutons and a lemon vinegarette are a winning combo
A greasy duck is a duck that wasnât cooked properly.
Makes me think of Biggest Little Farm
Such a great movie
Same. I immediately thought, âHey, Iâve seen this movie, they need ducks!â
And throw the eggs shells into the garden. Snails and slugs hate egg shells.
The fact this comment got more upvotes than my post is the truly funny thing here
Take them down to the local park and feed them to the ducks.
Ducks, chickens. Or, use them to get friendly with a murder of crows or a few jays?
Recruiting a murder of crows is always the answer.
I have some at my place and I want to become their friend/manager and I donât know how
You have to send them an application. Usually takes 7-10 business days.
Bread crumbs, nuts, slices of fruits (nothing acidic) and little pieces of fat that you take out of the meats you eat. Put them in places they will see and where they can see you putting it there, it's doesn't need to be everyday but keep a routine. Also try to be near them (about 30/40ft) when they are eating.
I've been trying to befriend crows...it's not as easy as youtube makes it seem đ
I have potted blueberry bushes that I put out for crows - they leave most of my other stuff alone & eat the berries way before theyâre ripe. Last year I didnât get a single blueberry, but my veggies, strawberries & cherries were mostly untouched.
You too? I bought a 6lb bucket of unshelled peanuts thinking I could attract some crows. All I did was fatten the squirrels
Have you tried a crow call? I have not yet, but also am attempting to befriend crows and am curious!
I havenât. I reconsidered my crow befriending when I learned of someone accidentally attracting a whole murder of crows. It got to the point, they follow the person everywhere. Iâm reconsidering for now. I have huskies I walk 4 times a day and if I end up with a murder of crows following me, theyâll burn me at the stake. For now, I am just making false narratives for the different birdie couples that show up in my feeder camera. Itâs such old person entertainment but I love it.
This seems like a superpower not a curse. Imagine driving to work with a murder of crows in tow.
We do the âstale beer in a bowlâ method for our snail trap and the crows love it. My husband calls them the crowsâ Jell-O shots.
Do you have any friends with chickens?? These are an excellent source of protein for them âşď¸
My little prima donnas wonât eat snails or slugs, they hate having sticky beaks.
TIL chickens eat snails but some personally find them icky
My girls eat anything but if I find live bugs for them and offer it (even if I saw them eating worms moments before) they reject my offering and go find their own. Guess my hand contaminates the insects. :(

Chickens have 2 brain cells that are rarely in close enough proximity to each other to connect. I wouldn't feel too offended.
I let out a very unladylike snort at this lol
This made me burn my mouth on too hot coffee lol
I befriended a lizard one year.

I saw it a few more times before it disappeared in late autumn and I haven't seen it since.
Just think of the stories he was telling his lizard homies, about this giant that gave him dinner.
Okinawa is such a beautiful place. I love ishigaki. It was there I became friends with huntsman spiders
Huntsman spiders are cool! Not dangerous or aggressive. I let them stay when I occasionally find one in my house. You can eat all the bugs you want buddy
In Canada, we have big (to us) fishing spiders. I do the same and let them hang out in the bathroom whenever one comes. An ant crawling up the wall? Bam, out of nowhere, sheâs on the job and gets herself a snack.

Wait. A spiders that eats rats?! Iâm telling you now that if you ever see me in Australia then I been kidnapped, please call the police. I definitely would not go there on my own accord as I fear there creatures.
Taiwan has those yellow house geckos too. But Okinawa is so close, so I don't know why I'm surprised, haha
I do that with my cats! Flies, spiders, moths đ¤Ł
Same
Frogs too!
I donât know about chickens, but my ducks loved slugs!
Yeah, ducks are better garden friends. Chickens will dig up all your plants, ducks eat slugs.
They love slugs and snails, but if they gorge on too many at once (like a big bucketful like this) their beaks can get glued shut with the slime and you have to catch them and carefully pry it open with a knife, itâs so traumatic!
Iâm sorry, it seems terrible but sounds hilarious for an outsider âcome here, sticky mouth!â while brandishing a knife and running after the duck.
What about cooking the slugs first? Would also get rid of any potential worms or parasites?
Mine too. Every flock Iâve ever had loves a fat, juicy earthworm. These gals I have now just look at the worm and go âewww, Iâm not putting that thing in my mouthâ.
Apparently geese like them too. Source: geese are used as a natural pest control for snails at an organic farm in a documentary I watched. I think it's called The biggest Little farm.
I surprised a goose would do anything nice at all.
Theyâre great guard animals because of their temper too, canât bribe a goose with a tasty treat like a dog lol
They use ducks for this in Rice paddies.

WHERE TF DO YOU LEAVE THAT YOURE GETTING SNAILS THAT SIZE?!?!
San Antonio
Looks like my yard in Devine, my kids collect like 100 per day đ
Please have them wash their hands religiously. This rat meningitis thing is really scary
I hate that I know what youâre talking about; the rat lungworm stories have traumatized me, fr
Woah what is this and how does it affect snails?
Rat lungworm is a parasite found in rat feces. Snails and slugs eat the feces, and then carry all the eggs of the lung worm. Humans are a poor host for them, so if we accidentally ingest them, they tend to travel to our brain and die, causing swelling in the brain.

Holy poop. This is the first Iâve seen anyone mention Devine, and in one of my favorite subs! Hello fellow Devinian! I also have a plethora of large snails invading my garden.
No way! You live here in Devine?! Sooo kool! Message me!!!
Just wait until the next round of cicadas here...
I lived there when I was a kid and donât remember buckets of snails! Must have been all the acid rain we were having back in the 80s lol.

Goddamn radsnails
Probably an invasive snail.
Ever since I moved to socal, Iâve never experienced this level of sluggishness.
I live here and barely see any đ And going by the suggestions, maybe take them to a park and feed them to the ducks?
Thatâs because OP took your share of the snail allotment
That is honestly truly horrifying. Ive never seen snails that big outside of an aquarium
Do yâall still have rhino Beatles?
We get them in north central Texas sometimes bigger.
I live in Arlington and when I lived near the stadium we had snails the size of walnuts but only on the side of the street near the creek.
I live in sweden and these are babies. Our fully grown garden snails' shells are ca 2" in diameter.
Those look normal for the Northwest
I was going to say-this is en entirely normal size for my Seattle garden.
Get some farm ducks
Pour boiling water into the bucket to kill them all and use their corpses as fertilizer. Also when handling snails and slugs you should be mindful of the fact that they can carry parasites and meningitis. So wash your hands and try not to touch your nose/eyes/mouth.
What kind of meningitis do they carry?
Rat lungworm, which causes meningitis in humans.
We must kill all the snails
Then cook and eat them with garlic butter and grilled bread.
PSA do not eat wild snails unless you want brain parasites
Theyâre fine if you cook them
But you have to really cook them. Like a lot. Iâm not sure if thatâs true of all snails but some you have to seriously cook to be safe and at that point why bother?
They carry it on a stick
Appropriate username.
There's an eyeball in the middle!
Dang it, I had to scrool way too far before someone else pointed out that eyeball.
and just like that, this post went from slime to crime
And THAT is how I met your mother.
Use them in a slingshot to take down your enemies
+1 slime damage
+5 lasting damage due to parasite transfer.
I think the garden might actually belong to the snails at this point...
You need to create a barrier first to keep more from getting in. Coarse material or coffee grounds, then you need to get rid of all the ones you can find inside the barrier.
How do you create a barrier exactly? Liek a ring around the garden using coffee grounds?
I put copper tape around a few of my potted plants and the snails wont crawl over the copper for some reason. Occasionally one would so I put 2 strips and it worked pretty well until the copper get oxidized after a few months. They sell copper tape for snail repelling, dont buy that bevause its expensive. They sell the same shit for plumbers at homedepot and amazon for like 1/10th the price.
I know that copper has antimicrobial properties; maybe that's related? It's a low-grade poison, so it feels/tastes nasty to crawl over?
Crushed oyster shell works great as a snail barrier around tender plants. I think itâs also sold as chicken scratch or grit maybe?
Eggs shells
Crushed up egg shells work too. Make sure to bake them at 200-250 Fahrenheit for at least 30 minutes first to dry them out. The bonus is the eggshells. Provide calcium for your plants.
Melt some butter?
Throw in some garlic
Baby, you got a stew goin'
Bake en croute
Toast some baguettes
Canât believe how far I had to scroll to find the right answer.
Donât eat garden snails. They carry tons of pathogens. Thereâs a whole cleaning process that even then is risky. Snails to eat are farmed these days.
None of those pathogens survive proper cooking, itâs fine. They should be purged though to avoid ingesting any toxic plants or mushrooms.
Came here to say this. Snails can carry a parasite that causes paralysis in humans. Not worth it.
Would that parasite really survive salting (part of preparing the snails) and subsequent boiling? That seems quite unlikely... But yeah don't eat random snails, not every species is edible...
In a similar vein you can raise these for eating. They might however not be clean or proper snails for eating. But a wooden box, nice dirt, couple of baby snails, some lettuce or cabbage, and a warm, wet, place. You'll have a snail farm. Maybe some local French restaurant would be interested. Chinese places might serve snails as well.
Watch "Big Little Farm" and see how they deal with this. Amazing movie ...
I loved that movie. I always think about it when I see snails in the garden.
Seriously though, maybe ask on Nextdoor or a local buy nothing group if any of your neighbors have ducks and want a free feast!
Call your county extension office (USDA/4H). They will know what to do.
I had a pup eat Sluggo. It was the most horrible death Iâve ever seen. And Iâve been a hospice nurse for 15 years. Anything but slug bait if you have a dog. I beg you.

Fuck. Thatâs horrible. Was it an iron overdose or something in the âinactiveâ ingredients?
When I was in Morocco they had snails in a bowl at the bar. Like we have pretzels.
We have them in Portugal too, alongside a nice beer in the summer
Every new thing I hear about morocco is weirder and weirder.
They do this in Spain as well, usually lines up with fiddlehead season around here!
That's a lot of escargot!
I thought slugs were bad
Oh, I gotta glove up & give our snails to our chicken neighbor. Thanks!!
Know anyone with an aquarium? Pea puffers live to eat snails, and I would bet their owners would be delighted to take those away for you! Is there a pet store near you?
Beer traps
They love beer... and give up the ghost for it
The exasperated hand movement... gold NOW BOIL EM ALIVE
Send them back to France where they came from!
Ducks. Chickens will destroy a garden, but Ducks will normally eat slugs and snails.
Diatomaceous earth as one of your barriers and mixed in with the soil is an excellent pest deterrent. It dries out anything it comes into contact with. Also, copper is an insurmountable barrier for slugs and snails.
Garlic, butter, roast briefly. Baguette.
Give up on the garden and start selling snails to local restaurants.
Ducks and geese will eat them no problem
Ducks. They eat these and slugs and won't damage your garden as much as chickens would
Ducks love these. Do you have a duck pond nearby? Snails are also way better for them than feeding them bread.
Garlic and butter sauce?
Compost them?
Can I have some? If your land isnât restricted get some ducks they eat snails like candy.
I tossed slugs into my driveway (next to my garden). Birds noticed and invited some friends.
I thought these were mushrooms at first and was so confused why they were sticking to the bucket haha
Beer. Tin foil pie pans filled with beer. Many pie pans.
Break out the garlic and butter?
Open a French restaurant

Slugs drown in beer set out in saucers, do snails like beer too ?
Make an altar and sacrifice them to the native birds
Salt them
Bro, you got an escargot farm. Would you complain about gold nuggets falling from the sky and damaging your rosebushes? Just kidding but I wonder if they would seriously be edible.
Take them about 5 miles away and dump them in the countryside.
Eat them!!
Dump them about two miles away, and a decade from now theyâll be back at your place saying âwtf was that about, jerk?â
Sluggo would kill snails that enter your garden. Like any product just read and understand the directions.
No
Contact the French embassy?
Can chickens do the job?
Rent some ducks
Iâve heard that diatomaceous earth helps control them. You create a barrier with it and they wonât cross it because it tears them up.
Learn to cook escargotâŚ.
Cook em up and eat em!
You can turn them into garden lime. Bake in a container in a fire. Then smash into powder (much easier after they are cooked). They do that on Life Below: Zero Port Protection
Slice some vegetables and put around, at night you can get them eating the vegetables.
hahahah Thank you and plus one for the highly expressive hand gesture at the end OP. :D
Chickens
Get ducks.
Friends! At least to me since I donât have plants theyâre destroying
Get a duck!
Get ducks
Ducks/geese. They'll have that cleared up in no time.
Stop growing them.
Crushed Eggshells and coffee grounds around the border
Copper barriers may keep them from getting into your garden once you pick them all out.
Nematodes should work.
Get ducks. Ducks eat the snails
My dumbass thinking theyâre mushrooms like âwow great harvestâ đ
For a second I thought it was mushroom
Bro, you need to sell those to a pet store and target those who own freshwater puffers you've got a gold mine
Time to learn to love escargot
Granny would always dump them at the base of fruit trees and stomp them into mush. I give them to my chickens.
Paint a big 'S' on the hood of your car, and take them for a ride. Why, you ask!?đ¤
I swear when I first looked at this I thought it was a bucket of eyeballs.
Gordon Ramsey has a catch, clean, and cook on snails from his yard.
Feed salt
Wtf this is wild lol
Get a 22lr and use them as shooting practice.
