How can I cultivate snails from yard and garden and prepare them for eating?

I have lots of snails crawling all over the place every morning. My wife and I have enjoyed escargot at restaurants. She made a comment one day that any snail, even the ones in our yard could be eaten. She had read something about putting them live into a container of corn meal for a few days and letting them gorge themselves and excrete yucky stuff out as a means of preparing them to be eaten.

Can anyone tell me the method for doing this or guide me to a reference source. Thanks, Mark
