Kiwi travel writer proves she is ‘not a sucker’

The Kiwitravelwriter fails at sucking – even when given a lesson in eating these snails!

Many thanks to Rash (Jo’s Bamboo Cuisine) who really tried hard to teach me to get the insides out of these native snail while at the Sarawak Cultural Village and the Rainforest World Music Festival (#RWMF) earlier this month.

While she and other locals made it seem so easy, it became very obvious I need to practise sucking more, or, carry a pin to winkle them out next time!

it’s easy,

then eat!

just suck,

“It’s easy, just suck, then eat.” As she also told me … they’re like rubbery chewing gum!
