edible snail的意思|示意

Edible snail, also known as escargot, is a culinary delicacy enjoyed throughout the world. The most common species for human consumption are the Burgundy snail, Helix pomatia; the petit-gris, Helix aspersa; and the brown garden snail, Cornu aspersum.

In French cuisine, typically snails are served as an appetizer or in a main dish. The preparation method begins by letting the snails feast on a special diet of oats, bran and lettuce. This is to help the snails gain fat and nutrition before they are cooked. After the fasting period, the snails are then washed thoroughly and put into a pan with garlic and salted butter, and then roasted.

Snails can also be served in a variety of other ways. For example, they may be served with a butter or cream sauce as an accompaniment. They can also be served in soups or as a side dish. There are also a few recipes that call for the snails to be fried.

No matter how you choose to prepare them, edible snails can be an interesting and delicious addition to any meal.
