The Jobs The Native-Born Refuse To Do

It seems that France is, like America, experiencing a flood of immigrants to "take the dirty jobs that no native-born citizen wants to do". And frankly, who can blame the natives? Who in their right mind wants to be sautéed in butter and garlic? That's a job for immigrant snails from Poland.

MACON, France (AFP) - Hordes of French gourmets joined forces at an annual snail festival at the weekend to munch their way through a record 100,800 gastropods, organisers said Monday.

……

Chefs used 500 kilogrammes (1,100 pounds) of butter, 55 of parsley and 33 of garlic to rustle up the Bourgogne snails according to the traditional French recipe — although the snails themselves came from a farm in Poland.

The French gastropod union is holding out for better pay and benefits. The people of France, however, keep eating the picket lines.
