Ever tried eating snails? Did you like them? Hell, I'll make it a poll.

I love the little bastards actually, which is weird since normally I have a giant phobia of them.
 
My first thought, Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My thoughts exactly.
 
Garlic Butter will redeem anything, trust me.

I think the taste was kind of like mushrooms.
 
I like 'em, but I don't kid myself. The snails are just a means of conveying garlic butter from the plate to my mouth.

See, I hate mushrooms too...

'Want's some fungus with that?'
 
Yeah, I would love to try them again myself if they weren't so dear.
 
As I recall, the texture was like oysters. They were cooked, of course, with a nice sauce. Nothing especially remarkable, though.

Well, not exactly like mushrooms. Butter and garlic is not to be dismissed lightly.

hehe. it's not the same as when you see they in the garden.

for everyone else: try 'em, you'll like 'em. not something to make a meal of, but pretty nice little appetizer.

Maybe you should come over for a snail meal we can play with the garlic butter. :D

Hey, I scream like a girl when I see a live snail. If I can eat them anyone can.
 
Hmmm. They don't taste like chicken. The texture isn't worth the money to me. Call them Escargot, please.
