I come from New England and we ate snail there all the time!. Usually snail salad!. Of course we called it Scungilli, so next time you see that on a menu, that's what you're getting! I've seen it in italian restaurants all over the country!. And I love Escargot!. It really isn't that flavorful, it's like the neck of a clam really!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
I thought it was sort of like a cross between calamari and oysters, texture and taste wise, except without the fry coating, and with a ton of salty garlic butter!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Yes they are a delicacy in France, and as long as they keep on being served with lashings of garlic butter the only thing you will notice is the chewy texture!. Delicious!!Www@FoodAQ@Com
