Today is National Escargot Day. I suppose this day is best celebrated by eating snails. I’ve tasted snail, but it didn’t happen while we were in France. We were having dinner at the French restaurant at Disney World’s Epcot Center in Florida six years ago. Swimming in that much butter and garlic, boiled cardboard would have tasted wonderful. It isn’t on the menu there any more. Instead, you can order Cassolette d’escargots de Bourgogne au beurre persille; a snail and parsley-butter casserole. I will admit when I see what the snails have done to my precious rhubarb and cabbages, my head fills with creative forms of revenge. But I honestly don’t think you’ll be seeing snail on my menu in the foreseeable future. Unfortunately, you won’t be seeing any of my homegrown rhubarb or cabbage there, either.
