Yes garden snails can be edible. People do collect and eat them. Here in France it is quite common to do so, although we have snail farms as well. A snail must be purged before you can cook and eat him. You must keep the snails alive and captive for at least a week. Some people recommend feeding them corn meal, others to just let them fast during this time. After they have been purged they must be boiled for quite some time and the scum that forms on top of the water cleared until there is no more. It is actually quite tedious, long process. I recommend you buy canned snails and avoid the hassle.

I live in nova scotia and we gather them off the sand bars when the tide is way out. we call them "sweet conchs" but I'm not sure what they are really called. i don't know about eating any other sea snails other than periwinkles. hope this helps
