Yep, escargot, the french food that is snails. Tried it today for the first time. Thought it was okay, not that tasty. It tasted a lot like cooked mushrooms dipped in liquid butter and garlic. Anybody else try escargot?

I've had it in France. Not really a fan. I prefer Foie gras.

It's chewy, but in a satisfying way. I'd eat it again.

I've never had actual escargot. I did eat a wild snail on a dare before though. It tasted like dirt, and had a gritty texture.

Dude, NEVER do that. Do you have any idea how full of parasites snails are?

It's really pretty tasty. You might think that snails would taste gross, but they really don't.

Still, like everyone here was saying, they're not really anything special. So if you choose not to eat escargot, you really won't be missing a whole lot.

Well don't worry about it, just don't do it again.

Most of the people who have parasites don't ever get sick or anything. Heck, most of the people who have parasites don't even know that they have parasites in them, so even if you did pick up worms it's probably not a big deal.

But yeah...as a strong suggestion...don't do that again.

I'm very picky when it comes to food, so doubt I will eat snails.
