Keyan Farlander Posted May 15, 2001 Share Posted May 15, 2001 Perhaps my all-time favorite food is escargot (snails). Ususally served as an appetizer, I could eat them doezens at a time (and I do, when made at home). I had my first taste of them when I was a mear two years old and have been hooked ever since. So, share your escargot experiences! Zoom, do you have any favorite recipies or have you not ever cooked them?

edlib Posted May 15, 2001 Share Posted May 15, 2001 DARN! Now I have to drag out my tape of "The Jerk" again! I have a rule: Whenever someone mentions escargot I have to watch the "Waiter! There are SNAILS on her PLATE!" scene. Oh well. It's been a while. I was overdue. I'll be back in a few hours. ------------------ "I seem to be having tremendous difficulty with my life-style" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Zoom Rabbit Posted May 15, 2001 Share Posted May 15, 2001 Snails? Jeezix, no! ...Can't say I've cooked them myself. I saw a chef do it for a gourmet banquet once. He sauteed them at a relatively low temperature in drawn butter and garlic, with a bit of fresh herbs (thyme, basil, oregano and rosemary), drizzled them with with sauterne wine and finished the sauce with a pat of whole butter. As I recall, the critters seemed a little underdone when he pulled the pan off, but they finished cooking nicely in their own heat (this is the secret to perfect seafood, BTW.) What would I do with escargot? Put peanut butter on 'em, then sear the dogsh*t out of 'em in a hot cast iron skillet along with fresh, peeled serrano chilis...all of which would go in an orange teriyaki sauce, served over white rice, with sake. But I'm crazy. ------------------ 'What's up is clearly defined as the opposite of what is down, in this case being the strongest source of local gravity...failing that, in space, what's up is opposite the direction of accelerative G-force--or what I'm targeting with these laser cannon.
