Kuhol sa gata (Snails in coconut milk)

When we were kids we used to visit our grandmother’s place in the province where we often spent our best vacation ever.  Our activities included catching grasshoppers, dragonflies, gathering fruits, flowers and best of all snails. I know this is one specialty thats kinda special, afterall they are snails.
