Escargot/Snails refers to edible land snails. This includes the species Helix pomatia (Burgundy snail), Helix aspersa (Petit-Gris), and Helix lucorum. These snails are considered a gourmet delicacy, especially in French cuisine. Typically prepared by purging, cleaning and then simmering in a flavourful broth to maximise flavour. The escargot is most famously served with a rich garlic and herb butter. The tender, slightly chewy texture and savoury flavour of escargot, enhanced by the aromatic garlic butter, make it a sophisticated and indulgent appetizer enjoyed by food enthusiasts worldwide.
