Look at that S Car Go!

Alright, I did it. I tried escargot. I am not sure what convinced people to eat snails in the first place, and I can't say that I understand why they continue to do so. The texture is a weird squishy/chewy that almost felt like a dense mushroom to me, and the flavor was odd--not strong, but not really good either. I would think snails would have to taste really good to be worth eating. I will probably give them a second chance just to be sure I'm not missing something wonderful, but I don't foresee them becoming a major part of my diet. Back to pastries for me!
