Pretty near every thing is delicious bathed in butter and garlic. Indeed, and escargot is about as good a use for butter and garlic Haven't had it in years, but if it's on the menu I'll order it.

I am surprised that no one has posted how they love them after being in the smoker for a week.
I am MAGA.

It is hit, and miss on the 'fire Jim. I picture this place as a few hundred monkeys on typewriters.

I would think that anyone who spent a week in the smoker would be past caring.

In my younger days, I existed entirely within "the box". In my dotage, I have given in to whimsy and allow my thoughts to run free with wild abandon. My family long ago gave up having any concern.

Tried one once at a French restaurant. All I remember is they were chewy and tasted like garlic. If you have to cover the taste with a lot of garlic, you have to wonder what they really taste like.

My wife is not your adventurous eater. She will pick at things like fresh mussels in a garlic/cream/white wine sauce. Snails (escargot) is a rare treat here like sushi.

We eat escargot every new years. Somehow became tradition.
Advice- Buy canned snails from france, not asia. They need to be boiled and soaked in their steeping liquid for 12-24 hours to remove chewiness. We use white wine or vermouth and lots of fresh herbs. Bring to boil, pull off heat and leave them in their liquid on stove top for 12-24 hours. Then in escargot dish with lots of butter and in 450 degree oven until butter starts popping.
Garlic butter, momma's homemade baguettes and snails. 1700 calories of pure delight.
I don't order in restaurants because I've never had them as good as we prepare them.
Also, despite it's "haute" status, its quite cheap to prepare.

some really good ideas here. if i ever get to the point of wanting to eat snails i'll refer back to this thread for encouragement and positive re-inforcement.
back home, down on dusty, red dirt road, the old folks had some folklore or natural healing recipes for corns on one's feet & toes. they said to take a fresh snail out of it's shell, and rub it all over the corn. (i guess that leaves out some snails that don't have shells?). anyways, they swore it works. and i've never heard a doctor disagree with them. so, there it is. snails are good for food, and for medicinal purposes.
