Turns out only 2 people in my friend group like snails (myself included), many people don't even want to try it because...well... they're snails. But just give it a shot, it's tasty as hell !

Nope. I went on an excursion with my French class to a French restaurant and I was the only one who did not try any escargot. My teacher was quite upset with me.

EDIT: They're also not that pretty. Here are the snails we were served..

I went collecting snails with my dad at his place in the lakes. It was supposed to be a treat, but I find it hard to believe the mucusy gloop that came out of the garlic flavoured stew he made could be considered a delicacy by any sane person. The preparation was kind of vile too.

No I haven't. Yet at least.

People here actually eat a lot of them and they say it's quite good. The reason I haven't is because they're usually eaten at pubs or outdoor summer parties and I just can't be bordered enough to order them the few times I go to those places. Not that I find them discusting.

There's another thing I just don't understand: In the internet I have found some people who say eels are discusting. WTF? Eeels? Snails I can understand but why the bloody hell do people consider eels gross? It's just a goddanm fish! Its meat in terms of texture and looks is no different from pretty much every fish out there (except salmon) An incredibly tasty one at that!

Love 'em.

Like many foods, though, there's a big difference between well prepared and poorly prepared escargot.
