National Escargot Day 5 24 2012 Escargot are good anytime!!
What are escargot? Snails. I remember the first time I ate them with their traditional butter garlic parsley sauce and the tongs to fetch them out of the snails. I had just moved to Germany with husband who was stationed in Germany with the Army. I had never had any snails or escargot before but I always was adventurous and tried them!! I liked them!!
We even bought the boxed kit with the tongs and the snail or escargot shells to prepare our own at home!! You bought the snails in a can, drained them, put one in each shell with the butter garlic parsley sauce in the oven to warm them up.

Check out this column by Peter Hertzmann in 2004 about escargot!! It's definitely worth a read!!
