The French call it escargot. Filipinos call it kuhol.
Shakespeare said A rose by any other name would smell as sweet. Well, I guess, you could say the same for edible snails. It matters not what they're called; they would still be snails.
I had some of these yesterday at Kamayan, where I also first came face to face with these creatures. At first, I thought I wouldn't be able to stomach these but when I tried them, I found them to be very good.
How was your weekend? Did you experience anything exotic?

I've always wanted to try kuhol..so far I haven't found the guts to do it. Everyone says it's yummy :)
i've never tried kuhol, ever. was the taste comparable to oysters or clams?
have a good week! :)
i miss ginataang kuhol! yummm! my weekend wasn't as exotic but still well spent...
Genny, I wouldn't have done that. Weren't they squirmy? I prefer them cooked.
Karen, thanks for visiting. I haven't updated my blog roll though as I've been using Google reader.
Cookie, it is. I was scared initially too; only learned to at it some 5 years ago. Only eat it in Kamayan though.
Christine, somewhat like oysters but tougher.
Ces, I'll hop over and see what you did.
