Are Snails Seafood?

That was one of the topics we had over at Klimt's last night. Hehe.. You see, we ordered Escargots, and Elaine can't take seafood coz she's undergoing radiation today. And that started off the topic on whether it was safe for her to take the Escargots... Snails live on land so it's safe.. Snails are crustacean hence it's seafood.. Snails are amphibians.. After 5-10 minutes, we still weren't sure if snails are seafood.. Hehehe...

Anyway, we had Viennese food at Klimt's. 8 of us - me, sayang, Kai Ling, Elaine, Ke Yaw, Zona, Julia and Sey Chuan. Had a good 2 hours plus of catching up with each other's lives, celebrated Kai Ling's birthday with a Blackforest cake, and then took some pictures before we left. The "makan-ing" experience reminded me of the times when I was at Tyrol, Austria during the European Experience tour. On the first night there, we had goulash soup with bread, pork chop with potato, and apple strudel for dinner. Second night, we had roast lamb and fruit cocktail. Even had a sip of Apple Schnapps. Hehe... Gosh, I miss those days..

Oh, right, Elaine didn't take the Escargots after all, just to be safe... And I've just checked on Google... "Snails and shellfish are molluscs that have shells. Snails are found in fresh and sea water, and some snails have also adapted to life on land." So.. I guess, this means snails are seafood, huh? Learnt something new, eh? ;)
