National Escargot Day

Escargo is often prepared by removing the land snails from their shells and sauteing them with garlic, butter, and wine. With the sauce for serving, the gastropods will return to their shells once cooked. Since the snails are clumsy to eat, special forks and tongs can help with the dining experience.

Heliciculture is a branch of heliciculture. Growing snails are regarded as heliciculture. More people are raising snails for culinary use in the United States. Even though escargot still seems exotic to American palates, around the world escargot has long been a common dish.
