I love escargot. Growing up in Denver there were a couple of very good French restaurants and if I got a good report card my father would take me for dinner. Escargot in garlic butter and filet mignon with sauce bearnaise was the only thing I ordered for years. Great memories.

Never heard of that in all my time there. Never even saw a monkey. The wife grew up in Manila and never heard of anyone selling monkey meat at the market, let alone by street vendors. She thinks maybe some people eat monkey in some remote province and the story just gets embellished from there.

It was pretty common in Olongapo, outside Subic Bay Naval Base.

I've had them twice. The first time I was with my brother in Philly at a nice restaurant. They served the escargot in a very unique dish. I assume it was just for escargot.
It was pottery with 6 or 7 individual hollowed out spots for the snails to go into. They must have put the snails in with butter and garlic then tossed it into the oven.
The butter was still bubbling when they got it to the table. It was delicious!
The second time was at a place near Harrisburg Pa. Not as good.
Yes, I would have them again if served the same way as the first time.

Hi Steve,
Re: It was pottery with 6 or 7 individual hollowed out spots for the snails to go into. They must have put the snails in with butter and garlic then tossed it into the oven.
This is how I have always had them. I 'think' it is how the French cook & serve them.

I'm getting to this thread late, but there's much to respond to.
I had an opportunity to try escargot when I was 17 and in France. But I turned up my nose and didn't I still regret it. I've never had the opportunity since, but when I do, I'll certainly try it.
My general take (stereotype) on French food is that if they have to pour gravy on it it must not be so good. I apologize now to any French -o-files.

But really, they aren't they really just a Garlic Butter Transport System... Best I've had in recent memory were in a lovely place in Alaska called the Double Musky Inn, they're somewhere in this pic of appetizers we shared with friends.
Kinda like lobster, crab legs, scampi. Though I also like those even without the butter.

Love unagi. But it may be just a teriyaki sauce delivery system.

I have always liked "odd" foods. Growing up in my family, we ate all kinds of German foods but also a wide variety of international foods my Mom liked to cook. We also "supplemented" our diet with squirrel, rabbit, and all sorts of fishes that people would turn up their noses at -- including carp and gar. The latter fishes have an undeservedly bad reputation; the taste all depends on whether they come out of clear or muddy water and whether you clean and prepare them promptly.
A few months ago I was eating barbecued cuy (guinea pig) in Peru. It's a delicacy there and actually pretty good. My Filipina wife of 32 years turned up her nose at the cuy, which was pretty funny for a woman from a country where they eat balut (boiled embryonic duck eggs), bagoong (fermented shrimp paste), dinuguang (blood soup), kawaling (tripe soup) and various other delicacies. Personally I like all that stuff except the bagoong (fermented shrimp paste). The wife loves it, especially on unripe (green) mango. Bagoong is okay as one ingredient in kare kare (stew), but otherwise I never grew fond of it. She would like everyone to know that they do NOT eat dog in the Philippines, at least not that she has never ever heard of. Perhaps in some remote provinces, not in Manila where she's from.
The best way to cook carp is to nail it to a board and set it near the fire. When it's done, pull the nails and then eat the board.
I also had cuy in Peru, but it was roasted. It's the national dish there. Tasty, but there's not much meat on those critters.
If you get to Nairobi, go to Carnivores. They serve all sorts of "wild" meats, though I think they may be farm raised. Zebra, etc.

It's an ingredient in Vietnamese Pho as well. Along with tendons.

It's been awhile since I've had it but I do like it and used to eat it whenever it was available. Not a big item in the south. I first enjoyed in in Okinawa on my way to Vietnam.I must admit I was probably pretty drunk the first time. Good stuff though.

Do you grill, boil, broil, bake, smoke or eat raw? Do you use bbq sauce or mustard?

Did not like snails. Oysters Raw or fried are good, clams are good raw but steamed & eaten with butter delicious but prefer them fried. Calamari is delicious if prepared right. Never eaten lobster. Allergic to it.

They’re best when they have a little gritty sand in them.
