Went out to a local Bougogne restaurant in Auxerre, La P'tite Beursaude looking at the menu there it was..... L'escargot, une douzaine. We have been saying for far too long that we must try snails. This is especially the case as we are in Bourgogne which is the heart of snail gastronomy. I placed my order with a nod from Margaret that she would help me out.
La P'tite Beursaude.
I was pleased that they had been marinaded in Chablis and we were having Chablis to accompany them. Then they arrived.
12 Snails ready for dispatch.
Once I'd got my mouth and brain around the first one they were really quite good. Garlic, parsley and butter really with a slightly chewy bit in the centre. Margaret did help out, don't feel she was over impressed preferring to stick to her asparagus. Would I order them again. I think I would. I don't know why I was so reluctant for so long. Margaret says 'I know why!'
