What does Escargot taste like?

There is really no other taste or consistency to compare it with,but, I would liken it most to a dark, dense, earthy mushroom sans the wild flavor. When cooked properly it shouldn't be mushy or rubbery. I love escargot, but will admit that mostly it's the persillade sauce (garlic, herb, butter) that's it's traditionally served with that is most enjoyable. Also enjoy it italian style with buffalo mozzarella and cooked tomato.

Hmm,sounds good,thanks....

Butter and garlic goodness

It tastes like a mushroom imo..

Honestly I think they are horrible.

Probably just tasting the garlic and butter they were served in I would guess. Throw a shitty mushroom in garlic and butter and you have the same thing. The meat itself is probably one of the most overrated foods i have ever known.

Pretty good low tones. The best version I ever had was in a long gone Chicago restaurant, The Bakery I think. Served in puff pastry with a puree of back-eyed peas and slivers of bacon. I tried several times to replicate, something I'm pretty good at, no success.

Not for everyone.

Doubt people would eat alot if they were just called snails,plus it is a French delicacy...I mean would people not stay away from RumpRoast if it was called Cow's arse?

Anyone else besides me think of Trading Places when they noticed this thread?
