French snail farmers often do 70% of their business in November and December.That's because their escargots are a traditional end-of-year hors d'oeuvre.But in 2020, restaurants were forced to temporarily close, and the annual Christmas markets were called off.So that left France's snail farms with thousands of pounds of unsold goods.And on top of everything, snail farmers say that they have not received government assistance.They could always sell the snails to schools, like Japan did when faced with a similar Kobe beef situation.The snails might even be a big hit with the kids. After all, it is France
