Yes, they're edible and pretty, but let me tell you snails are not for everyone. Some find it as a delicacy, while others may find this quite, well....... weird, I was going to say something else.

My sister, Mia, is crazy about it that she often bought them in bucketloads during the weekend from an old balinese lady at the corner of Sukawati market.

A quick google search found that it's actually originated from Japan, called "shungiku" or chrysanthemum greens. They use it as accompaniment to shabu-shabu or sukiyaki.

Steamed sweet potato is added to the peanut sauce to thickens and give a not-so-skippy'ish flavour to the sauce. Which might have been the reason why my husband was always a bit hesitant trying savouries doused in peanut sauce. He probably thinks peanuts would only go in sandwiches.Ingredients:* Indigohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13654486729250793556noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9019423049170768649.post-69290562713422138772008-03-11T15:23:00.000-07:002008-03-11T17:21:57.682-07:00Ayam Rica-Rica - western styleRica-rica is originated from Menado in Indonesia, a place known for its best spicy dishes across the archipelago as mentioned in my previous posting here. Most of the dishes usually contain lemon grass, kaffir lime leaves and tonnes of chili peppers.

Also one of the dishes from my childhood.
