1. The French delicacy Escargot is traditionally made using land snails, most commonly the species Helix pomatia, also called the Roman snail.
2. Before cooking, snails are often purged for several days and fed clean food so their digestive systems are cleared.
3. In classic recipes, the herb butter used is garlic-parsley butter (beurre d’escargot), which gives escargot its strong, savory flavor. 🐌🍽️
