Wild Burgundy Snails, a timeless French delicacy, are finally available to gourmands in the United States. Their manufacturer, Henri Maire, 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 "Extra Large" size escargot contains 36 snails. They are the perfect size for serving as an hors d'oeuvre.These are our largest wild Escargot and the best-choice for stuffing in shells.

Best escargot ever!
Bought these last year but never ate them. They have a long shelf life, so decided to serve them this year. My wife was born in France and has discerning tastes. We ate the escargot with Christmas Eve dinner. She soaked them in red wine, then cooked them in Cremini mushrooms with garlic butter, and topped with a sprinkle of Jarlsberg cheese. C'est magnifique! My wife says they are the best escargot she has ever had! Going to order more soon!

These are delicious and have a very foresty/earthy subtleness to their flavor due 2 da fact that they r wild(as opposed 2 da farmed ones).These are "extra large" as described and are really tender,clean and yummilicious :)

Funny texture and taste
After a trip to France I had high hopes for these but snails in a can have a funny texture and taste and I was not pleased. I ended up throwing most of them away...

Those escargots were as good as I remembered escargots to be, when eating at select french bistros.
