when in a Paris last week i had to try a local delicacy of snails with garlic butter, to be honest they were surprisingly good

I also forgot how much i loved Paris as a city & have taken tons of pics, will share a few with you over the coming weeks

Bollocks to the mollusks; that is a lovely looking tumbler of brew you have captured. "Biere a la pression" I think the French call it.

Looks lush Daz! There are ONLY 2 things I don't eat........ Coleslaw, and Lamb, anything else, I'll chow down on it like its running out of date.
I've found that people can be so finicky with foods these days.
I was speaking to a lass at work, she said 'I like my fish I do', I was like 'Wow, fantastic, have you had mahi mahi? Red snapper? It's beautiful?!' ...... The eyebrows then raised as I got a bit ahead of my self. Then a tin of tuna was exposed from her bag.... Nice, but that's not 'liking my fish'.
Nevermind.......
Right, breakfast.... Olives and nuts.... That should do it!!

Nice Darren ... Of give them a go just to wind up Hannah!
when we went to Paris we went to a little resturant in monte marte called La Chien (from memory) the one night ... Nice little place! Really nice steak ... I was always of the opinion that I had no issue with any food until I went there though .. After all, food is food, if somone likes it its worth trying! Not chicken livers... No way, never again, discusting!!!
Everyhing else was lovely ... But it has made me question French food since!

What was quite funny, we though "ahhh, la Chien... The cat... How sweet" we have cats, I like cats... After about ten mins in there I spotted some rainbow flags and pictures of ladies on the walls ... Then noticed that all the staff were women ... I can only assume the translation of "the *****" works ...

Snails are those when it rains they make a move on the pavements ...

They look good Darren although I find they really only taste of the garlic butter.

Are you certain it wasn't La Chat Hamish? Le Chien is The Dog!

Never had snails, I know lots of people who have got all funny about the thought of eating them. I find it odd really as growing up in East London it wasn't unusual to eat welks and winkles which are a type of salt water snail but when it came to snails people would be put off.

 

[Darren Turner]

yes they sure are Ahmad

 

[Pete Askew]

Strange, but I hear you don't see so many in North Wales these days for some reason!

 

[Beth Carter]

looks pretty good. can't say snails are usually on the menu in america, but just about everything else you can find in the water is. i'm more concerned about how a place handles and prepares their food than what animal the meat comes from.

lol hamish.
