Me? Heck I couldn't even eat 1 escargot at a fancy schmancy restaurant where Tony Bennett was sitting behind me!

Mary

Why? Was Tony swiping them?

So that's a NO on the slugs? Can I talk to your husband and/or kids? @Nyboy See her family likes them..... Got to try at least. Man up.

That is o.k. @ninnymary and @Nyboy , @seedcorn is not shaming me into eating them either.

 

[thistlebloom]

I just think Seed is attracted to slimy things.
Okra comes to mind...

 

[ninnymary]

Seedcorn, how many escargots have you eaten?

Thistle, you gotta watch out for people who like slime! haha

Mary (who has at least tasted the sauce)

 

[seedcorn]

How many? No idea. Tried them first time with group of friends-3 other couples. None of the women would try but all the men did. Tastes like great beef in garlic butter sauce. This was 40 years ago. Eaten them ever since.

@thistlebloom okra is NOT slimy if cooked correctly-same with snails. Ate okra gumbo for supper tonight-oh so good. Love fried okra with bacon for flavor with onions & garlic. Fry it till its brown in areas-reduced about half.

@Nyboy Even Mary tried the sauce......close your eyes, let your friend feed you one and enjoy. They are good.

I used to offer escargot to my fourth grade class every year. A lot of the students were game to try them -- come to think of it, they were mostly the boys. Teacher still hasn't.

 

[seedcorn]

Have to ask, where could you get them for school?

 

[Smart Red]

Bought them with my own money from a store with ethnic foods. I liked to expand students ideas of food they were not likely to find close by. Learning need not all come from books and well-rounded students make better citizens, IMHO.
