I have had the good fortune to have been a travel agent for many years and specialized in cruising. The food has almost always been better than average but can't really remember much about any particular dish. Yes, there was mushroom soup which tasted like fresh mushrooms and sliced open crab legs for easy eating. But the one time a ordered 3 appetizers of snails was the one which I will never forget. My waiter snatched up my empty plates as soon as I scraped the last garlic bit from the shells ands replaced it with another piping hot dish. So I devoured 18 gorgeous snails while everyone else had their soup and salad courses. Would love to try them on pasta. Never thought of that. Thank you so much for who you are for the world, the joy you must feel feeding those really in need and traveling the world to share your fabulous mind. My complements to you... CHEF.
Last night before I read this, we had the best escargots ever in Lyon. They were so much more tender and tasty than a dozen we’d had earlier for lunch. Part of an extraordinary tasting dinner at Rustique.

Where do you get the snails?
Escargot, you had me at butter, garlic and crusty bread...yum
