Makes sense. I think it would take plenty of alcohol to away the taste of one snail pita.

Snail isn’t that bad! I find I cannot eat it if it still has the eyes, though.

Well, the Romans too were known for their propensity for party life and all the “trimmings”.

I can deal with the eyes, but I can’t chew if it still has the shell.

Sure. Now.
What would you feed foreign invaders 2,000 years ago in France?

Today’s foreign invaders get EBT cards so they can buy steak and lobster. We’ve dumbed down the last 2000 years.

“Evidently some things never change, though. The excavators in the town of Lattes found indoor gristmills and ovens for baking pita, each about one meter across.”
Apparently some things do change; these days pita bread is much smaller.

Interesting article, thanks for posting it.

The name was Original Famous Ray’s.

In France, they remove the snail from the shell, clean it, and cook it with herbs and butter. They serve it in the clean shell, and you dig it out with a little fork and dip bread in the melted herb butter.
In Spain, I saw snail served once—cooked in the shell. They looked exactly like snails you might pick up in your yard, except they were cooked. I couldn’t handle those.
Snails are very close cousins to clams, but do not taste the same.

I wouldn’t feed invaders. They can find their own food.

No past yet from Asia, and no potatoes or tomatoes from the new world.
Pretty dull menu, therefore.

They are exactly the same varity of snails we find in American gardens.
They were imported by a frenchman homesick for a taste of home.
