Why is escargot so expensive?

Asked by 6rant6 (13710points) April 24th, 2012

Even if you buy snails in a can and prepare them at home, they cost a bundle. Why is that? All I have to do is plant something I paid for and there are suddenly more snails than there have been Republican candidates.

They are slow moving, so I assume they make use of energy efficiently. They have a wide range of diet (anything I plant). Shouldn’t they be the cheapest food in the store?
