Escargot...

Subscribed to snail-ism for the first time during pre-Thanksgiving festivities in 2005 w/ the family at Orange Hill (restaurant) in California. Went mostly for parental's anniversary and the view.

Escargot, escargot...first impression was that it was quite pretty and flashes of Julia Roberts flinging the little suckers around with those tongs in Pretty Woman.
Second thoughts (shame I didn't take a picture of what they looked like without the shell): it was a bit on the chewy side, no significant taste other than buttery with various herbs. Nothing particularly exciting or riveting other than that you're eating very healthy, well groomed looking gastropods.

FYI: snails poop on their head b/c of torsion causing their body to twist over their head over their "feet". YAAAAAAAY. Bachelors in Biology is good for something! :) And, according to wiki they're mostly right handed. O.o
