Snail Caviar

snail caviar
I consider myself a bit of an adventurous eater. While I may not have the intestinal fortitude of an Anthony Bourdain, I still enjoy foods that the average American will find "weird". Chicken feet? Love them. Durian? The smellier the better. That's why I don't know why I was a bit grossed out when I read about snail caviar, which is available at Harrods. I love escargot and I dig caviar, so why not snail caviar? The French Company that produces the caviar claims that it has a "delicate flavor, with surprising sensations", and that the diner will "experience the sensation of a walk in the forest after the rain, mushrooms and oal flavors, the scent of humid moss peat". Well, it sounds interesting and if I ever get my hands on the precious caviar, I promise to get over my squeamishness and try some.
