We had escargot at a small restaurant in our hometown. It was 3-4 years ago, but my daughter actually got mad at me when she discovered that it was actually snails. She did NOT want her mommy putting a snail in her mouth! They came stuffed in mushrooms, but the taste was fine! Then again, if I had someone making me laugh and doing a gagging sound, I might have had trouble finishing it too! Lol!
