Strictly speaking: only that little pile of meat is edible. If you have a strong taste, you can suck a small amount of soup. The rest, such as the belly and intestines of the snail lion, the small snail lion shell, and a small amount of mud and sand are not edible.

Generally use a toothpick to pick out that small pile of meat to eat, some places people also like to shiver food, so called shivering (abetting) snails.
