Snails err Escargo, Bon appétit!

in #food8 years ago (edited)

So this past National Escargo day 5/24, (yes there is a day set aside to celebrate these land critters) I had a delicious tray of Escargo, if you aren't familiar with this dish, it's a delicious appetizer made with land snails, cooked in butter and or wine. Usually associated as being a French dish, it is one of the most consumed dishes in France. The sauce was rich, but snails are very good for you, they are also a good source of protein and are low in fat. Have you ever tried Escargo? Would you try it?

Tried this once ~ Oh my love for french dishes !

French dishes can be so delicate and packed with so much flavor. It wasn't' until recently I tried frog legs (they do taste like chicken).

I have never tried it, but i think i would if the opportunity presented itself. Nice photo.

Yes! I'm a believer in trying most things once, well except for balut, don't think I would ever try that.

See, I'm learning all kinds of new things here. I must go look up balut now. I've never heard of it. I'll let you know if i would try it.
Last summer my husband and i got to go on a missions trip to Belize. Most of our food was prepared by our host's wife, and it was all delicious. We had the opportunity to try many fruits we've never heard of, and we did, though some of our friends did not. I'm like you, I'll usually try something at least once.

I just read about Balut. My stomach turned a little. But why? I eat eggs. I eat chicken. (I have only had duck once, but would eat it again. ) So why not Balut? I eat sardines. Those have soft bones. I think i would just have to do it and not think about it too much. I don't know! !

For me I think its the beak, the feathers and possibly the feet. I saw someone attempt to eat it once on the Amazing race and I almost retched. @clickinchicken

That's just look delicious!!!!

It was absolutely and utterly amazing. Especially with the toasted croutons, dipped into that rich sauce...OMG!!
