<< does anyone here actually *eat* escargot? >>
Of course! The fresh ones are better than the canned ones, and frozen are
better than canned. Lotsa chopped fresh garlic, butter w/a drop or two
Pernod. Broil them until bubbly! Fresh warm banquette dipped in the
remaining butter in between bites of escargot is heaven. I add a little dash
of white pepper as well. You don't want to kill the lovely flavor.....same
as with lobster. If you want to use fresh snails (live) you let them cleanse
in a box of cornmeal for a few days prior to picking. There are escargots
farms here in California.
