[edit] Photo?

You're looking for photos of cooked snails? Awesome. Next time I'm in an overpriced French restaurant I'll be sure to have my Instamatic with me. Wahkeenah 19:31, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Snail.

I really want to mention the edible snail in the article Escargot. I don't know wether I necesarily have to mention the edible snail in the article(Escargot). Because there are edible snails that means snails that person can eat. Perhaps, There is an article about Edible snail. Daniel's page ☎ 03:42, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

Edible Snail is already mentioned in the article. Daniel's page ☎ 03:47, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Festive occasions?

I dispute that. In a village I know well near Montpellier, after the first rainstorms come in late august, the escargots emerge in incredible numbers. It's free food -- and you can't imagine the thrifty families of the Languedoc ignoring that. El Ingles 20:44, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Snails are called snails in English English

I removed the tag calling for a citation to demonstrate that snails are called snails on restaurant menus outside N. America. There is a limit, surely, to this kind of thing? Do we have to have citations to explain that you can ask for either "pied de cochon" or "pig's trotter" at a French restaurant in, say, London, depending on whether you are ordering in French or in English? Similarly the menu will list "Escargots - Snails" and you can ask for either. The only "citations" I can think of which would demonstrate this are links to the menus on restaurant websites, and I don't see the need to pick out any for free advertising. -- Picapica 11:34, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
