Comment on “shells with epiphragms in an Upper Capsian rammadiya at Kef Ezzahi (Central Tunisia): a local food tradition?” by Saafi (2024)
The following comment is addressed to Saafi (2024) related to “Shells with epiphragms in an Upper Capsian rammadiya at Kef Ezzahi (Central Tunisia): a local food tradition?” While Saafi (2024) research offers important insights into the traditional consumption of epiphragmed snails in Tunisia, several aspects deserve critical consideration and some important details have been undervalued or missed that can turn in incomplete (or sometimes wrong) interpretation of the performed observation. The comment tries to give answers to the following questions raised from the research of Saafi (2024): (1) Why epiphragmed shells are preferred for consumption today in Tunisia? (2) Is epiphragm building related solely to climatic conditions? (3) What is the preservation potential of Capsian epiphragmed shells? (4) Why epiphragmed shells of Capsian Sphincterochila candidissima are preserved?
