edible snails
French appetizer mollusks
Edible snails are land snails prepared as food, most famously in French cuisine as escargot.
Several species are cultivated or gathered for eating, typically purged, cooked, and served in garlic butter.
The term distinguishes culinary snails from the many species not considered safe or palatable: The restaurant sources its edible snails from a farm in Burgundy.
