terrific escargot August 13, 2010
j from boca
this is one of the best brands of escargot on the market that won't break the bank. it is difficult to find in stores nowadays. You have to slightly clean the snails before cooking but add butter and garlic powder and you have a fabulous appetizer for any occasion, even just dinner with your husband.
Simply the best July 17, 2010

If you truly enjoy eating then you will truly enjoy escargot; even though you may not know it if you have never tasted. If you love and enjoy escargot, then I promise you that you will absolutely love this product. These puppies are BIG! Now I know that big does not always mean better, but I have to say I have never tasted better and I have eaten these things in many restraints, in many homes and locations around the world. I come from several generations of snail lovers and we are all pretty picky!
These snails are tender, not mushy as you often find and if prepared correctly can send you into a state of gastronomic nirvana. A bit of EVOO, garlic and a touch of salt, a dash of wine and a hot oven and you have pure heaven at the table.
I cannot believe the price here on Amazon. I buy this same product at a local store and can assure you that I pay much, much more.
As one reviewer has pointed out, it is very difficult to find these in many restraints these days. When I was a little girl, traveling with my parents all over the U.S. it was not much of a problem. Times have changed though and if you want a `snail fix,' you are quite often forced to do it yourself. Fortunately that is not difficult if you have a quality product to begin with. It this case, you do.
Whether you buy here on Amazon or buy locally, don't let these slip by you.

These snails are of a good quality at a much better price than I have seen them elsewhere.
The reason for the lower rating in the stars is that there is the non advertised inclusion of pepper, not enough to be hot but just enough to create a bit of a bitter taste, even with rinsing. They are much better than the smaller size `very large' cans of snails of the same brand.
At an even better level are the helix escargot if you really want to taste a higher quality.
These do not have to be stuffed into shells, I simply put them in a small oven proof bowl, after rinsing well and shaking the water off in a colander - with chives, garlic, bits, a tiny bit of garlic salt and place pats of butter on top, pop them into a 375 degree oven for 15 minutes and they are ready.
Hopefully one thing that has improved and that I did not make part of the qualification for my review was the packing, it was done very poorly and many of the cans were dented on the bottom - they were replaced, but be sure to check your whole package if you order them.
Great price Great escargots May 3, 2010

Bought two cases, did not realize it was 12 in a case. Tried three cans, large escargots, delicious, just make up butter seasoning,a drop of wine (optional), put in baking dish and bake at 10 min in 400 degree over. Voila! Great appetizer and great price. Gave 1/2 dozen to sister as a present - she loved them, I love them. Can imagine sitting on the Champs, eating a dozen with baguettes.
