Escargots

Yum, yum.... my favourite appetizer..... escargots with garlic and butter sauce.
It is also one of the most famous dishes in French cuisine.

The word Escargots is a generic term for edible snails.
It is typically served as an appetizer and not a meal.

The most common preparation for escargot is boiling or steaming, and the snails are often served in the shell on a special escargot plate, which has small depressions for each shell.
This is the children's first experience with escargots.

The daddy taught the children how to use the tongs to extract the flesh from the shell, along with small two-tined snail forks, and then dip the snail into the garlic and butter sauce provided. It took the children awhile to handle the tongs properly and it seemed like they are operating on something. And I worried the snail will fly off the plate any moment too.

Sean ate the escargots...... and his comment was....... ok ok but not his fav.

Trishh first taste of the escargots and......


I guess she doesn't like it very much either.
