I got to try them on the cruise the Frige Family went on... Before I write my "Range Report" on them... Any of you try them or want to try them??

Like them or hate them?


Oh yeah and let me be the first to say : "IBTP"

Had 'em a couple of times. Not bad, but predictably rubbery.

Tried 'em, didn't much care for 'em.  The garlic butter taste is good, the snail taste not so much.  Plus, they're rubbery.

a local restaurant makes them by broiling? them in Garlic sauce with a bread crumb and parmesian cheese topping. Damn good too

I would have to be twice as hungry as I can even imagine
to try them.  Never have, hopefully never will.
I believe the same about Okra.

it was more a texture issue than a taste issue for me

I had some snail in Greeca  once.  They were OK.  A little rubbery, a little gritty, and a little too salty for my liking.  I didn't hate them, but I doubt I'll ever order them again.

I've had them several times. Loved them. Like oysters though, NEVER cut them in half! Real green

on the boat's the only time I ever ordered them. they're good, just not worth paying money at a restaurant to get em.

Liked the flavor, hated the texture.

It's like a rubber eraser dipped in melted butter and garlic.

Tried it many moons ago, I remember very much not liking it, mainly due to a certain sand-like texture at times. This is when I was pretty young, so I don't really remember any specifics besides that.

I'd be willing to try it again now, though.

From the lore of Grandpa who shucked oysters as a job:  oysters don't "shit" like we do.  That green stuff is an  accumulation of what they do not digest/use.  It is not nasty, just not usable to the oyster (or us non-bivalves).

'Not sure if that is right or not, but I don't worry about the little things.  Raw oysters...chew 'em up, only pussies try to swallow them whole.

Escargot I like, but it is mainy a medium for great garlic and sour cream to stay on the fork until it gets in the mouth.  But the snail flavor is not bad either.
