    Would you / do you eat escargot?

    That's snails.

    Ask me a few months ago and I would have said hell no but since then I have read much about it and many people are saying it is really good and that it's worth trying some people say its nice with garlic what about you have you had escargot I think many people eat it reguraly like people from spain and france what about you do you eat it would you recommend it I think next time i goto a fancy resturant that serves escargot i am going to try it.

      I have had it and it tastes nice - I can't get the idea that it's land snails out of head though...

          Yep. Escargot is tasty, but the big part of that is the buttery garlic sauce that smothers the meat. I wonder what they would taste like just cooked without flavouring.

              well you could smother a piece of paper with butter and garlic and it would probably appeal to many

              tried it once, when I was a kid travelling through France. maybe it just wasn't prepared well but I ate it w/o dipping it in the butter sauce cuz I don't like the feel of oil in my mouth

              found the texture disgusting. don't care for chewy food. recall discreetly spitting it out cuz I couldn't swallow it. it wasn't the taste, it was the texture. nothing to do with it being a snail

              also recall my aunt telling me it was a really healthy food but I gave no fucks about that

              now uni on the other hand (technically the private parts of the sea urchin) is delicious, wicked texture too. no oily condiments required. haven't eaten it in decades but remember it fondly

              it's pretty high in fat content though :/

                  Pretty much anything with a garlic butter sauce can become tasty. I've had it a few times, from slightly chewy to very chewy.

                  Had Capybara down in Colombia. It's an over sized guinea pig of sorts. Technically its a rodent. Waitress said it tastes like chicken. No, it actually has the texture and taste of pork.

                    I've eaten escargot and I hardly tasted anything.
                    I expected more.

                      It's actually tasty. Ate it many times already.

                          Thank you. An allround yes for escargot then!
                          Surprised so many have it and enjoy it actually. Are they the same as the ones you get in your garden and can you eat the ones without a house?

                              Are you talking about slugs (without "a house")?

                                There are quite a few cousins of the snails used in upscale and fine dining. Yes the ones in your garden are likely fine, but you must make sure they have not digested pesticides or other harmful chemicals, as this will be passed on to you, and second, you need to purge their current digestive system, by feeding them a controlled diet of normal vegetables (and herbs) for two to three days. This way the unknown __________ is pushed out.

                                Bon appetit!

                                  Thankyou for the good information. Maybe I try breeding them in a good environment.

                                    I am positive that breeding with a snail is illegal.

                                        Escargot are really nice, indeed.
                                        When I was a kid I struggled with the idea of eating slimes that have spent hours salivating on the floor... but then I realised that they're just land shrimps and that's fine with me :-D

                                          I dont, but my land is full of snails, I let a couple of Moroccan guys in the other day to collect them, they were here around 3 hours and left with two large buckets full of them.

                                          A win win, they were happy to get the snails, I was happy to get around 10kg of them off my land.

                                          They're coming back in a couple of weeks to pick more.

Yes the ones in your garden are likely fine, but you must make sure they have not digested pesticides or other harmful chemicals, as this will be passed on to you, and second, you need to purge their current digestive system, by feeding them a controlled diet of normal vegetables (and herbs) for two to three days. This way the unknown __________ is pushed out.

                                                      I stuck a carrot up my ass about a week ago, yet none of my poo is orange so far...

                                                            A basic question. How do they 'come' on your plate. Do they come in shell or out of shell?
                                                            If in a shell do you poke them out with a stick or how does it work.
                                                            The photo above shows them in a shell. What do you use to eat them?

                                                              I've almost always had them out of their shell in little cups of garlic butter.

                                                              The photos you see with them served in shells, they have actually been put back into those shells after preparation for serving (or new clean shells, empty snail shells are very common to buy in grocery stores).
