I've eaten them on a few occasions. Always prepared the French way, cooked and served in their shell with some butter.
Can't say I'm a huge fan though... What about you?

GerardoG · 22 March 2019, 04:42 AM

LOVE them!

Dan Pierce · 22 March 2019, 04:44 AM

Only had one occasion and liked them. Pretty sure the preparation would have a lot to do with it though.

Can't say I do. It's one of those fancy stuff I must endure if the host decides to offer at a dinner but it's not something I'd order at a restaurant.

GerardoG · 22 March 2019, 04:46 AM

Very few ingredients and you have AMAZING escargot (butter, shallot, parsley, white wine, worcestershire, bread crumbs.....and more wine for the cook!)

mikkoi · 22 March 2019, 04:49 AM

Yes! I love them also! With blue cheese and garlic

They are a wonderful but rare treat for me!

wantonebad · 22 March 2019, 04:58 AM

It's more about the butter, garlic and bread for me, the actual snails are a little rubbery but I'd be lying if I said I didn't enjoy them. I do, a great deal when they prepared correctly!!

I'm here with you on this. They can be a little too salty for me, otherwise I enjoy them.

I agree ... I never know whether to chew them or just kinda of gum them down

Calamari on the other hand ...

I like escargot and used to eat them occasionally when I lived in New Orleans.

I don't see them on the menus of the restaurants I frequent here in New Mexico.

There's no snails in the desert, dohh

Jojoshop · 22 March 2019, 05:22 AM

it is an exquisite dish. A perfect appetizer with nice toast baguette :-)
You got to go to the right place where it is done right. Otherwise it is just butter sauce and some Chewy slime

Euge · 22 March 2019, 05:26 AM

Like them as an appetizer,
not all places have them.....

We are having snails tonight. My kid loves french prepared escargot. Tonight we having it the asian way

RLX_NY · 22 March 2019, 06:04 AM

Had it a few times while vacationing in Paris with the wife and really enjoyed them, quite delicious, but will say it all depends on preparation.

Escargot

Butter & garlic.

I could eat them all day like popcorn (but only between 2 and 10 PM).

mfer · 22 March 2019, 06:52 AM

Every French restaurant I go I try them. One of my favs.

There used to be a place in St. Louis (francos) that made some of the best. It unfortunately closed.

SpeakWithMichael · 22 March 2019, 07:04 AM

Yes, during peak snail season we would make our own by picking them from the garden, letting them clean their system for a few days on lettuce, and then cooking them up in their shells. Delicious. It's not the over the top delicatessen here that they are in the US because "ooh, that's French, isn't it?" It's a nearly no-cost dish we enjoyed a few times a year. This is peasant food made popular and expensive, really.

1st amg · 22 March 2019, 08:02 AM

I love them!

Boothroyd · 22 March 2019, 08:03 AM

Love it when I see them on the menu of a good restaurant. Would never try to prepare them myself.

majorleon · 22 March 2019, 10:51 AM

I'm a fan.

Star Ferry · 22 March 2019, 11:30 AM

yes, it's good. Much prefer it to the "sea cucumber" served at high end restaurants in China
