Wikipedia
Escargot is a dish of cooked land snails, usually served as an appetizer. The word is also sometimes applied to the living snails of those species which are commonly eaten. ”Escargot,” , is the French word for ”snail”. It is related to Occitan ”escaragol”Merriam-Webster Collegiate Dictionary, Eleventh Edition and Catalan ”cargol”, which, in turn, may derive from a pre-Roman word ”*karakauseli”Diccionari Barcanova de la Llengua. Editorial Barcanova, 2004.. Not all species of snail are edible, but many are. Even among the edible species, the palatability of the flesh varies from species to species. In France, the species ”Helix pomatia” is most often eaten. The “”petit-gris”” ”Helix aspersa” is also eaten, as is ”Helix lucorum”. Several additional species are popular in Europe; see heliciculture.
