found the texture disgusting. don't care for chewy food. recall discreetly spitting it out cuz I couldn't swallow it. it wasn't the taste, it was the texture. nothing to do with it being a snail

also recall my aunt telling me it was a really healthy food but I gave no fucks about that

now uni on the other hand (technically the private parts of the sea urchin) is delicious, wicked texture too. no oily condiments required. haven't eaten it in decades but remember it fondly

it's pretty high in fat content though :/
