There may be many things that a 17-year-old runaway might face in life (and I know of some of them, having been there myself), but giant spectral escargots? Oh, my, He certainly must loathe poor wee Cally!

I don't know which is more daunting, finding a vat of brine large enough for prepping it before cooking, or amassing the vast amounts of garlic and butter with which to serve it.
