> > Think escargot are a particular species of edible snails. > weeeell... escargot is the french for snail but it might mean edible snails in english ... i'd say all snails are edible but the biggest ones are easier to eat and escargots from Bourgogne are suppposed to be a delicacy (they're huge and disappearing quick . i think you're not allowed to capture them any longer ) ... and the garlicky sauce is the only tasty thing about escargot .... lol ... ps. before eating escargots you have to purge them . so you put them in a crate (and mind the cover is well fixed because snail are pretty strong when it comes to lifting it and going everywhere into the room .... VBG) and feed them flour for a few days . yes, you sprinkle them with flour every day .... never did it myself because we weren't snail eaters but my best friend's mum used to do that quite often... then you put them into boiling water and that's that .... I love the garlicky butter that goes with them. just my culinary 2 cents ... dominique from Paris, France .. it seems autumn has come . it's pretty cool this morning .. i love it !!!!
