They are round like apples but the flesh is more like a pear. The taste is sweeter, I think. It's very crunchy and juicy and I like it quite a bit. I have a couple of questions. 1) How do you know when they are ripe? 2) Where do they come from? Are they natural or engineered? Responses can be followups or mail. If I get a lot of requests for a summary, I'll include your reply unless you ask me not to. -- Raise snails for fun and profit! Race them for amusement! Then eat the losers!
