Default Slugs and Snails

Ok maybe not slugs... but snails are edible critters in France.

Question is are 'common or garden snails' ok to eat as well?

I know in principle how to prepare them, i.e. by collecting them and
feeding them on bran for a few days to clean out their innards before
they meet their end in a pot of boiling water... but do you *have* to
use a specific type of snail or can any snail found in the garden be
used??

Can't say they are a particular favourite of mine, not had them for 30
years or so, but in the past they've been ok served with garlic
butter.
