Located in:Meats/Seafood, Escargot
Wild Burgundy Snails, a timeless French delicacy, are finally available to gourmands in the United States. Their manufacturer, Henri Marie, has been satisfying the most discriminating palates in France since 1938. Served in the world's finest French restaurants, these are the escargot reserved for dignitaries, movie stars and the like.

As with all gastronomic delicacies, escargots exhibit varying levels of quality. Henri Marie's snails maintain an unwavering reputation for incomparable products. Their formula is quite simple. They begin with authentic Burgundy snails (Hélix Pomatia Linne), found only in the wild in southeastern France. They are then hand-sorted by size, washed, and cooked in an aromatic bouillon according to the same ancestral standards used in 1894.

There are 116 types of edible snails, and the Helix Pomatia Linne is the unanimously proclaimed #1 in terms of flavor and texture. Nicknamed the "Land Lobster", it exhibits a similar texture to lobster, with an earthier flavor. These escargots are 100% natural, 100% organic, low-carb (Atkin's friendly) and have very high nutritive levels. This tin of "Petit" size escargot contains 48 snails. They are the perfect size for cooking into a soup or aspic.

I made the butter wine sauce recipe I found here on the website. My only complaint is that there wasn't enough escargot! Everyone snarfed them up; I will definitely purchase these again. Very tender & flavorful......just as good as any we have had when dining out.

Flavor is too gamey
By SeattleChefVerified Reviewer from Seattle, Wa on 5/19/2008
Pros:
Tender
Cons:
Bad Flavor, Too gamey. Muddy taste.

Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Wow, I was surprised that these were not good. I bought two cans. I opened the first one and the smell was really strong. After sauteeing them in garlic butter, they still tasted very strong and gamey. They had the flavor of mud. I thought I hit a bad can, so I opened my 2nd can. Same thing. I'm a chef and bought these to do some light entertaining at home and was thoroughly disappointed. The size is great and the texture was very tender. The smell and taste was terrible. I had to throw both cans out. [...]
