Escargots Gratines a`l`ail (Snails)

Paris should be really called '5lbs per 3 days' – I have been eating so much good food (I can always diet once at home, right?) I just had to try snails. I had a half dozen at a traditional restaurant with some people I met on my tour. It was served with garlic and butter and came with some weird silverware that looked like a torture device. I ordered a glass of Riesling, as a chaser, in case they were as horrible as they looked. (I have developed a liking for sweet Riesling after the wine tasting a couple of weekends ago in Germany). I worked out how to use the 'scooper'(after being laughed at by strangers) and ate one. My verdict? Délicieux (Delicious)!
