Garlic Butter Escargot – Snails

Posted in - Lunch / Dinner & Recipes on April 10th 2013 0 Comments Escargot France Garlic Butter Snails

My niece is here to stay, an excuse to re-create what has been created many times since our return from France. These are simple to make and even if the taster of your culinary creation does not enjoy the snails – they’d be mad not to! – they can mop up that garlic butter heaven.

Eat meat from happily reared animals, and then you have their permission to really enjoy what you eat. Seconded by my great great grandmother, Dorothy Peel, in her books 100 years ago: ‘To judge by a letter which has appeared in the daily press and from private conversations it would seem that many people think that to abstain from meat on one of two days a week and to limit their total consumption to 2 ½ lb. per head per week is a restriction which may seriously affect their health. To be quite frank, it may affect their greed, but it certainly will not adversely affect their health; indeed, there seems good reason to think that less meat-eating would improve the health of the well-to-do.’ Mrs C.S. Peel, The Eat Less Meat Book, 1917
