Recipe from Charlie Byrne

2 cups chopped *conch
1 cup chopped sweet yellow pepper (can use green or red if you want)
1 cup chopped onion
1 cup chopped celery
2 cups chopped tomatoes
Several cloves chopped garlic
A few chopped jalepeno or habernero peppers, omit if you're timid.
FRESH Juice of 10 lemons - no bottled juice allowed under any circumstances!!!
Few tblsp of olive oil
Some spices such as oregano, parley, thyme, celery seed to taste.
Sometimes I add a little cumin, not too much!

Chop it all up, mix it together, serve on a bed of lettuce.

Better after 2 days in frig, although in the tropics some don't even refrigerate it.


	*Conch is a common name for certain large marine snails. They are gastropod mollusks. Conch is the second best known edible snail, the first being escargot from Burgundy, France. Conch has been a popular food source throughout the Caribbean since the time of the Arawak Indians, before Christopher Columbus.
