Some Ghanaians love to embarrass the rest of us. Disgusting behavior
Eating snails cannot be disgraceful at all.
You are right. It is not shameful at all. It should have been cooked partially. I bet there were some dead ones.

Eating of snails is itself not disgraceful but we need to understand the cultural differences because we are part of the international community. Somethings must remain private within Ghana. What we love to eat could be offen ...

that’s the ghanaian for you .. disobeys the law at the least opportunity
Let's ban American foods in Ghana like KFC and Burger King. Snail meat sweet paah.
KFC being in Ghana is creating employment. You bringing snails to america what does that do for them? Stay in Ghana if youc can't follow rules
Of course people buy it in America as well to make the taxman rich. It is business.
Say that again oooooooooooo some of our people act very stupid they know the rule but want to take a risk
I don’t know if shallow mindedness is a better qualification for your ignorant comments. Have you ever heard of any item being shipped to US for free? It’s pathetic why majority of us Ghanaians think everything from the w ...

Massa stay in Ghana if you can't follow rules nobody is forcing you to stay abroad, useless people
STFU with your foolish pride and corrupt stupid leaders. Do you want evidence? Look at the US southern border and the American embassy in Ghana. People are running away from hell.
Do forget the the health risk this fast food poses
Do passengers carry raw or uncooked KFC and Burger King in their luggage through our airports?
Official jealousy will destroy these Americans. Behind the scenes, they all crave the delicious taste of the snails. Hypocrites.
You are not allowed to import meat or any food of any kind in the US from Ghana. Any exceptions need to be declared which he did not. They have laws something Ghanaians don't respect even in their own country. Always trying t ...

When you come to America you will understand waaaiiiiii no long talk
Escargot is a delicacy enjoyed by the French and not Americans, get your facts right.
Policy is policy. The guy should be subjected to heavy fine if possible. Our disregard for simple rules and regulations is the cause of our present situation.
Thank you.Indiscipline is the biggest challenge in Africa.Why do Ghanaians prefer to live in USA but still prefer to eat Ghanaian foods prohibited in that country?
say Ghana. Which Africa. Was it some other African that was doing this ?
May the Almighty Creator of the universe pour his endless and uninterrupted blessing on you.

Chinese are not allowed to import any such items into the US. At all. Don't make up stuff that literally has written policies that are the complete opposite of your claim. With exception of pets any wildlife is not allowed up ...

@Atiso, please don't make up things to post for the sake of commenting. As one commenter promptly pointed out, you probably have never set foot in the US to know what Americans eat. Most border patrol officials are not Chi ...

You export your Ashanti stupidity to the US? Oh my God! Then why not export antelope shit too which they consume on daily basis?
Who told you only Ashanti's eat snails. Aboa bi saa no
Leave us alone ooo. Wait till Asantewaa serves you shit soup from akrantie poo and you will love it.
Eating snails is better than eating cats and dogs, so we should those eating snails. Come to Kumasi, even Issah enjoys snails. Clap, clap, and clap.
Unlike crabs they ll not bite an ant

Never at all shameful to send some few snails to America for home consumption. The French eat frogs and escargots(snails)and Americans eat bull frogs. I will be happy to eat snails with Trump and Biden to let Americans k ...

U.S. Customs should find scientific a way to track if these animals are poisonous the fact that Africans consume them. If they are indeed poisonous imagine all Africans are dead. Wake up U.S.!
Kodjo, if your government cannot protect you from consuming poisonous animals, why should the US care. US is more concerned about you people importing invasive species into the country to contaminate agriculture and natural ...

Send the person back to Ghana to eat snails. Why cause yourself this problem knowing very well that sending snails to the US is prohibited? The funny side is that when they are coming from overseas they bring food to Ghana. T ...

Usually we take the snails from their shells and freeze them solid, wrapped and well sealed. I have been sending snails to usa and uk for decades no issues. Im guessing the traveler intended to breed them for sale or persona ...
