what an insult... it's probably a good laugh, but after a while, you'll just look stupid, comp.

I gotta say to the op, if you are too scared of the taste, eat it with peppers, rice, veggies, bread or macorroni or something that will blend in. I'd be scared, but I'd do it if someone really dared me to, in person.


Oh I didn't really want to eat it. I just saw it at a chinese glocery market and it was really really expensive. Like $30 and there were about maybe 12-15 snails inside. each probably have about as much meat as a single grape. I figure it must taste extremely special to justify such a mark up. From what people are posting, seems like it not much better than eating rubber band.

For those of you who might get a date some day, here's a piece of advice: If she has cheap tastes, don't try to fix it by introducing her to finer foods. If she wants hamburgers and asks "what's a filet mignon?" or "what's a ribeye", simply reply, "Okay, we'll get you the best burgers in town.

<sigh>
Now my wife enjoys eating lobster, escargot, . . .
She had never tried them before she met me.

This man speaks the truth...sadly I made the same mistake.
