>french people are so stupid they eat the mollusk version of bugs
kek

>>6800806
>eating mollusk

Yeah who'd do that?

>>6800832
>the mollusk version of bugs
typical of a frog to stop reading a sentence halfway through

>>6800836
>mollusk version of bugs

I stopped reading because what you wrote is meaningless. "Bugs" are land invertebrates. Snails are molusks. You may as well say "The tree version of a snake".

Also I'm not French. Or even from a French speaking country.

>frog pretends he's not a frog in attempt to save face
It's too late Pierre you've already made yourself look stupid. Don't you have some white flags to wave or something

When I was a kid my parents would take me to a french restaurant for special occasions. I would always ask for an order of the escargot, it was one of my most favorite things to eat as a kid. Partially because of the novelty of eating snails I guess.

But I haven't seen escargot on any menu in a long time, probably because french cuisine has really fallen out of favor with American eaters. Seems like it could be a labor-intensive dish to prepare as well, but maybe not.

the francophobia in this country confuses the fuck out of me

I'd like to assume it's not just because of the iraq war but when you listen to the kind of retarded reasons why french food is supposedly "bad", "pretentious", or "overrated", it usually boils down to they hate us for our freedoms

I'm glad I live in a city with enough of an international population where those kind of people don't determine the restaurant culture, but if I was in flyover land I guess the only non-wonder-bread options would be fogo de chao and the local "oriental" eatery

They're pretty good asian monkey style.

>Really want to try snails at least just once in my life
>Just imagining eating them makes me heave
For fuck sake!

>>6800948
Pussy detected. They're good, stop being a baby.

>>6800880
What, you don't like freedumb fries?

>>6800889
Mah nigga. I used to get them at hawker stalls whenever I visited Singapore.

>>6800948
Snails are heavily seasoned in both French and Chinese cuisine, and for a good reason. They're chewy morsels coated in garlic butter (French style) or in chili and lime (Asian). Don't think anymore than that and you'll enjoy them.

>the french hate our freedoms
>include liberty in their national motto
kek, my countrymen can be so fucking stupid sometimes. we would be the greatest country on earth if not for all of the retards.

>>6800880
I don't think it's francophobia.

French cuisine in America used to be associated with "fancy dining" which used to involve napkins folded a dozen different times and 5 different kinds of glasses at your table. People don't want that anymore. They still want haute cuisine, but not in the formal atmosphere it used to be served in. It's just a general restaurant trend.

>They still want haute cuisine, but not in the formal atmosphere it used to be served in

Which ironically is the thing that the Bongs really nailed in the 90's with Gastropubs, yet you just have to look at /ck/ to see that the general meme of "lol British food" still exists.

I don't know what my point is here.

I like to eat them once every couple of years

mainly taste like garlic butter tbh

>>6801049
Escargot is just an excuse to dip bread in garlic butter.

>>6801051
Why does anybody need an excuse for that?

>>6801057
Because then I would be eating it every day.

the vietnamese had surprisingly good snails and shell fish when I went there. Like, really good, might be the best shellfish I've ever had despite coming from mega cheap street food markets

I'm actually craving it constantly I need to learn how they make it

>>6801257
oops forgot pic

ive been raising normal garden snails for 2 months, they eat fresh romaine lettuce daily. but they arent getting much bigger. what do i need to feed them to get them bigger?

they are very clean, they live in vermiculite

Surprisingly most snails you eat at French restaurants come canned and full of poop.

enjoy your liver fluke

Harry, King of Snails doesn't like you people very much!

Chef ramsay + snails

>>6801307
try feeding them bran, cornmeal, or soymeal.

>>6801382
Canned, maybe. But snail farms make them fast for a few days to cleanse them.

>>6800793
>eating snails
The French truly are the worst.

>>6800880
I've written this here before but either you don't know what happened between the USA/UK and France/Libya back in the 1980's or you're plain stupid. I won't write it again because there's no point when you can look it up yourself.

Also your English is shit. Disagreeing with France doesn't make it a "phobe" as in afraid of them. We just think that they're fucking cunts. The less we have to do with them the better.

Escargot's pretty alright, a good safe meaty flavor. The real appeal is the garlic butter it gets served in though, and anybody that disagrees with that needs to either look inside themselves and accept the truth or are probably in France and regularly eat fine cuisine

>>6803042
Pretty much anything drenched in butter and garlic is going to taste good. That's genetic you stupid French hypocrites.

>>6803048
Exactly, that's why I wanna go to France and try escargot prepared to bring out the flavors in snail instead of drown it in butter like a real american

>>6801434

Owning a passport is really good.

I like frog legs, but these look disgusting.
Would anyone eat chicken wings/legs presented in such a way, no crispy skin and drowning in fat?
