Never. Yet. I’ve always wanted to try them, but I’ll wait for when I’m in France.

They do a nice casserolle version with shallots and wine and that is nice too.

If you can have a guy spunk in your mouth, you can eat a snail. Just a little extra chew that's all.

Usually the ones eaten in this country are all farmed

I did try them a few years ago.

I can only describe them as bogeys wearing crash helmets swimming in a strong garlic pool which you can taste for 2 days afterwards.

But the frogs legs were really surprisingly fantastic .

They are ok. But most things swimming in loads of garlic butter taste pretty good.

Not keen on them cooked with yoo much garlic to be honest. I prefer them in other ways I had them in Portugal, Spain and Greece. My favourite was a tomato rissoto I had.

Damn now my dreams are going to change from eating a nice fatty steak to Escargots.

About 20 years ago you could get Escargots with a Dab of Garlic Butter to cook in the oven. I reckon I had those at least 4 times a week. Struggling to find them anywhere now.
