Escargot are a delicacy consisting of cooked land snails, most commonly enjoyed in French cuisine. They are often prepared with garlic butter, wine, or a parsley sauce and served in their shells or in special dishes designed for escargot.
What Does Escargot Taste Like?
Escargot have a unique flavor profile that can be described as earthy and slightly gamey, akin to mushrooms or clams, with a tender, chewy texture.
