The World’s Most Expensive food returned to our screens and it wasn’t long before we were introduced to a new pricey foodie fad: snails eggs.

The owners of the UK’s largest farm of snails eggs – or Escargot Pearls as they’re more fancily labelled – told the Channel 4 show that the eggs can go for way over £2,000 per kilogram.

Most people were just down right disgusted by the thought of eating the eggs of a snail.

A few flirted with the idea of a change in career path.

Some just thought the rich foodies were being unwittingly mocked and took the opportunity to have a chuckle at their expense.

While others proposed some alternatives that were likely to be tastier and more filling.

We’ll probably pass for now, too, thanks.
