I agree Mendy.
I have helped my mother and grand-mother prepare many escargots when I
was a kid.
Anybody needs the recipe?? ;-)
But no snails in Colorado, much too dry.

Butter, garlic and a dash of parsley makes everything taste good, even
snails
... I mean escargot.

A few years ago, I had some near Lyon.
I was told they came from Turkey. They were quite good, of course with
a garlic
and white wine sauce.

Hello Martin, Sterling and all
I am not a specialist but French and loving frog legs (with garlic of
course)
As far as I know, we only eat frog legs, not toad legs.
But more importantly, frogs and toads belong, for many years now, to
the
endangered species list in France, thereby, you will eat frog legs
coming from
Asia (which are much much bigger and much less tastier... quite
disgusting
actually) unless you are in one of the few areas where they are not in
danger,
like in Alsace... and a very very few more !
I would have to check, Toulouse might be one of them, but not sure
Anyway...
Enjoy your trip to Toulouse, Martin.
Michael B.

Dear Martin,
Does the hallucinogenic alkaloid of a toad's skin secretion still
have an effect once they are deep-fried?
The answer is YES.
Bufotenin (also known as bufotenine and cebilcin), or
5-hydroxy-dimethyltryptamine (5-HO-DMT or
5-OH-DMT) has a very high boiling point of 320 C.
The vapors above or below that temperature are still psychoactively
potent, as are the liquid and crystal forms (melts about 146 C).
Depending on the mode of administration, bufotenin is more likely to
produce dangerous cardiac effects than visions.
While it is possible that deep-frying would evaporate the bufotenin
and hence remove most of it from the toad's skin, I'd stick with the
frogs' legs, if I were you.

Hi Doug,
don't worry. You can rely on the fact that if I manage to visit the
Toulouse exhibition this summer, I will provide you all with some
interesting photos. ;-)
As for toads, escargots or anything else that might pour down on me,
there is no worry either since I bought THIS at the last art
exhibition I visited.

I will carry it on top of a rod instead of a sunshade when being in
Toulouse. ;-)
I'm a bit worried though...
Does the hallucinogenic alkaloid of a toad's skin secretion still
have an
effect
once they are deep-fried?
I don't want to be stoned before seeing the stones...
Best wishes,
Martin

Dear List, Dr. Mathieu, and Martin;
Martin, if you do or anyone does make it there, please remember your
friends on the list who won't have the opportunity to vacation or
visit
the lovely southern latuitudes of France and post us a nice picture
for
the admiring meteorite-list of this historical group of stones. So
much to do on vacation there - see this Toulouse meteorite exhibit,
then go to the Space Center and Space City, the Kennedy Space Center
analog and lots more, of France.
Watch out if you take the low road, as nearby Toulouse was the site
of
a Toad-storm from an inclement thundering sky, Two shocked horsemen
had
to put on their overcoats while being Toad-hammered, and gallop out
of
their as fast as they could, to reach a stage coach also on the way
to
Toulouse that witnessed the event, saw many small toads still on the
unfortunate horsemen's cloaks and when it passed through the spot
trampled many thousands of toads of all sizes. (I wonder if the
meteorite in any way biased this report?)
A rain of escargot snails might have been more comical for France,
but
maybe they were toads, frogs, whatever -- after all the toadstorm was
1834 and even today frogs and toads are varied and not recognized by
science as distinct animals. Fried frogs are a delicious part of
French cuisine that is required to try for all Beefeaters attending
the
exposition ;-)
Kindest wishes
Doug

Congratulations, Dr. Mathieu, on having organised this very
interesting
exhibition.
The beautiful city of Toulouse, la « ville rose », is always worth
a
visit !
I'll try to visit this exhibition this summer!
Best wishes

Hi List,
I'm pleased to invite you to the conference and exhibition for the
bicentenary of the fall of the meteorite of Toulouse, april 10th
1812. The exhibition will remain until september 2nd.
This event is the materialization of 2 1/2 year of historical and
scientific researches. It benefited from the early support of the
Museum of Toulouse (SW France). Most of the main samples of the
fall,
loaned by the Museums of New York, Chicago, Geneva, London, Vienna,
Stockholm, Troyes, Paris, and from the University of Tuebingen will
be reunited close to their place of
fall,
200
years
later to be shown to the public.

J'ai le plaisir de vous inviter à la conference et a l'exposition
qui
auront lieu au Museum de Toulouse, en celebration du bicentenaire de
la
chute
de la
meteorite dite de "Toulouse", le 10 avril 1812. L'exposition durera
jusqu'au 2 septembre.
Cet evenement est la concretisation de deux ans et demi de
recherches
historiques et scientifiques. Il est le fruit de la collaboration
entre l'auteur et le Museum de Toulouse et a beneficie de l'apport
de
dizaines de contributeurs. Fait exceptionnel: les principaux
specimens de la meteorite de Toulouse, pretes par les Museums of New
York, Chicago, Geneve, Londres, Vienne, Stockholm, Troyes, Paris, et
par l'Universite de Tuebingen seront à nouveau réunis à Toulouse 200
ans plus tard pour être montres au public!
