YUK! Why would anyone eat those things? They're kind of like maggots with antennae. Or perky slugs.
i love puns and that was perfectly corny. well done!
Calling all vegans and vegetarians. Please regale us to an overlong and completely boring tirade on why people shouldn't eat escargot.
I tried snails in Chinatown... they really weren't that bad. They didn't have much of a taste, mostly just taking on the flavor of the brothy sauce they were cooked in and were chewy (kind of like slightly overcoooked calamari).
You had to pull each one out of the shell with a toothpick, which was a little more effort than warranted for such a small morsel.
slugs with shells!
don't eat them if you don't like them... duh!
I do like them, but $85...
Haha, good corny joke + photo = favorite!
Slug-butter, slugs.
Snoopy, you usually can't see the antennae or the razor scooters when eating escargot. I find them very tasty.
Are there any other mammals that eat slimy slugs? We are talking low end on the food chain here. You can call them escargot, but the fact is they are snails and slugs with borrowed shells.
I guess if you put enough some kind of French sauce on a pile of shit it might also taste good to some people, not me. Typical French cuisine.
That picture is priceless.
I first had them in Ciudad Juarez. They were *slurp*,*slurp*, delicious!
Somehow I knew no vegans or vegetarians would come to the aid of the slugs. They only stand up for the 'cute' or 'beautiful' animals.
No militant vegan would dare eat a slug...that would be cannibalism.
