Hi there

Does anyone know where one might be able to buy a tin of snails in London?

Many thanks.

Have you tried either Harrods or Fortnum & Mason? Obviously very expensive, but also very extensive... Would at least be a starting point. Otherwise I'd look online.

I'm fairly certain that "The Fromagerie" (branches in Marleybone and Highbury) have them.

I'd also check the food halls at Selfridge's and Harvey Nicks.

Check the Pound Shop...here in Canada, the most reliable place to find them where I live is at the Dollar Store, so it's a logical leap :smile: Exact same brand as available at the specialty store where I live, and on offer 2 cans for a dollar!

As it happens, Moen's butcher in Clapham sells them, which is very convenient for me :smile:

I've found tinned snails in Italian deli's, Harrods and F&M will be fail safe option I'm sure.

Sounds to me like a great excuse to jump on the Eurostar and make a quick trip to Paris! :laugh:
