escargot
Buttery bistro shells
Escargot is the French word for snail, used in English specifically to mean edible land snails prepared as food.
The dish is particularly associated with French cuisine, where the snails are typically cooked in garlic butter and herbs, then served in their shells.
We ordered escargot as an appetizer.
The word retains its French pronunciation and plural form in English usage.
