selling snails in muslim quarter

This proverb is saying that a Moroccan Muslim would say "hooooo" when something is difficult to understand. It is like saying "let me think about it" or "let me figure it out". The proverb is comparing the difficulty of understanding something to a chestnut being inside a snail shell in Morocco, which is very hard to get to.
