Going to Paris without trying escargot (French snail) would be incomplete. So for dinner, we had escargot and red wine. Tasted good. Its texture is like abalone and also a bit like squid, very Q. This molluscs is cooked with butter, garlic and sauce. If at home, I wouldn’t try eating snail at all!
escargot
This is the species that the French used it to make the delicacy
Eating escargot must go with red wine
Every one was ready to taste escargot
Cheers!
At night we had another river cruise on the Seine River to enjoy the night scenery of Paris and of course the Eiffel Tower.
