I believe in fairy tales,
Its better than eating snails
I take it back, I take it back
Escargots' give my lips a smack!

Yes! They are indeed a one word meal - YUCK!  I was stationed on Guam back in the '60's and they were all over the island, millions of them (brought by the Japanese whey they controlled the island in WWII)

Huge too!

Never had em, but I like all the other slimy things that come out of a shell, so I'd say I'd like those gross little buggers too. ~L

I'm sure you would, Lori, if they were sauteed in a butter.garlic concoction. I guess you're home.
