Snails as Extraordinary Food in France

Indeed a sight to behold, France, they say, is the most romantic capital in the world for lovers or even for those in desperate search for love. Not only are French guys gorgeous and French ladies fashionable and beautiful, love is in the air with breathtaking scenery and exciting nightlife in Paris. But what if your date takes you to a 5-star restaurant for a delightful supper and asks for "Les Escargots?" Will you be tempted to try this tasty extraordinary serving of snails, or would you dare imagine their mucus trails while feeding on decayed plants?

Famed for their glib tongues and passion for artistry, France is never too ashamed to admit its penchant for snails as a extraordinary serving in its cuisine. Actually, it never considers snails as exotic food, when in fact, France consumes 40, 000 tons of snails every year, making snails renowned dish. But if you think preparing "Les Escargots" is fairly easy or quite simple, then you'll have to realize that it takes two weeks, when they are already starving to death, for snails to be ready for a lavish treat. The seasoned covering has to taste just as good as the snails with butter, garlic, parsely, and other spices, while snails that are rich in calcium, Vitamin C, and magnesium are also famed fillings in pastries.
