Fondue, lobsters and snails ? Not in the same plate, I hope ? (although it might be interesting ;-) <BR> <BR>Elvira, can you explain tamales ? All I know is they taste great, invove corn, meat and spices, and take a long time to cook, and there's no way I can find them in Geneva (sigh !).

What do escargot taste like ? ( Please don't say 'chicken' ! ). I must say the thought of eating snails is nauseating to me !

How do eat snails. Turn you lawn sprinklers on for a while. The insects will come out. You can find them by their entrails trail. Throw them into your juicer with all your other garden stuff, pour into glass and drink. <BR> <BR> <BR>

<BR>They taste like butter & garlic. <BR> <BR>Yummeee!

Yep,Garlic & Butter. I had them once and I think that's it for me. The taste was actually good, but I couldn't get past the texture. <BR> <BR>Steph

NeverHaddem - <BR> <BR>The thing about escargot is not the escargot; it's the butter, garlic and herbs. I can take or leave the snails, the texture is a bit odd. But the butter/garlic/herb combination for dipping your bread is to die for! <BR> <BR>For the record; I've only had them with little forks. Sometimes in the shell and sometimes in the special "plate" with holes. <BR> <BR>Lynn <BR> <BR>:-)
