Oh my! I kept pet snails as a child, and yet the frugal gastronomer within me is seriously considering taking the path of snail-catching and cooking! These look great! Congratulations!

What a beautiful photo! I also LOVE snails, but I’m now deathly allergic – so I’ll have to pass on this one.

Sad.

jen of a2eatwrite’s last blog post..Wow! And thank yous…

Oh no! Allergic to snails! I suppose there are worse allergies, but still. Glad you got to enjoy them at one time at least

I haven’t had the good fortune to try snails done this way, but reading the recipe, I’m dying to try. It all sounds so delish!

I hope you get to try them…and be generous with the oregano

What a delightful sounding recipe! I have always loved snails, but when I married last year my husband wasn't sure he would. We had them once, and now he requests them everytime we are at a restaurant that has them.....and he's currently looking over my shoulder telling me to copy down the recipe! Thanks! Kalee’s last blog post..Contemplations Hah! I hope you give it a try...just remember that depending on your snails, you may have to purge them for a longer period of time. They seem to guard against that here by only digging for them at certain times (literally once a year)!

I’ve eaten snails because I’ll eat almost anything once, but I didn’t really enjoy them enough to say they’ve overcome the ick factor with me. Maybe I could just have a cheese sandwich with ketchup and mustard?

Atta girl! Actually I didn’t care for them very much the first time I ate them either; they weren’t nearly as tasty as when P prepared them

With Pasta ? I like the sound of that anything with pasta is good I too have only had them with garlic and olive oil. Hmmm I haven’t had them in years.

I was surprised this is how they make them too, having only seen the French version (but not tasted it). Believe me, ’tis good
