I've Never Eaten Snails

While we were in France, we ate a lot of super delicious food and we ate some things that most would not consider food. One of those things was escargot. Dictionary.com defines it as “an edible snail.” UrbanDictionary.com defines it as “the snail body that comes out of a snail shell- looks like snot (a nose booger).” And Desiree defines it as, “oh, gross.”

My Escargot from Paris

I, however, am a better person than UrbanDictionary.com and Desiree so I ordered it and ate it.

All of it.

Every single last, slimy, booger-like snail body that I had to rip out of its shell with my bare hands (I was given special torture-like tools meant to assist me but I couldn’t keep the shells from flying off the table to I resorted to my hands, like a savage).

Conclusion? It was actually pretty good. Maybe not my new favorite food, that spot still belongs to Nutella and peanut butter, but definitely something I will order in the future.

Oh, and here’s a video of me eating them. It’s a pretty anticlimactic video but so was my experience eating them.
