has anyone tried BULOTS

Bulot

You take the toothpick, then pull the flesh out like this... And {tock!} with the cluck of her tongue, our waitress demonstrated how to remove the cooked morsel within a bulot and dip it into aïoli. These sea snails were among the offerings in a self-service cold buffet. Who would've thought that we'd discover a new edible at a french truckstop diner?

I avoided for years, and basically thought, "Why bother?".

Cruised with SIL, who insisted I at least try it. Loved it, but I assume you can cover anything with all that garlic and butter, and it would taste good.

Only place I have ever eaten it is on a cruise though. Not sure if I would order it if I saw it on the menu at a land restaurant.

How do you think I got the body of a god???

I LOVE escargot. First tried them on a cruise and we both order them whenever available - at least on a ship. They can be pricey on shore...
