This is kind of a weird food over here - escargot - otherwise known as snails.Most people say they wouldn't like them (before tasting them for the first time), but the old joke is that an old leather shoe with that much garlic and butter would taste good. They do seem to be as common as frozen french fries in the States - and really the only thing you need to cook them well is a really hot oven, and the right cooking pan (shown here). The only other thing that would help is the proper fork that can reach inside the snail and actually extract it.
