Making & Tasting Escargot at Home | Are Snails the Most Underrated Delicacy?

In this video, I step into a tradition that has traveled across centuries and continents: escargot. Long before it became synonymous with fine French dining, snails were a humble, nourishing staple in many cultures. Today, I prepare escargot in my kitchen and taste it on camera, inviting you into an experience that is equal parts history, flavor, and daring.

The process reveals itself slowly—garlic butter melting, herbs releasing their perfume, shells warming in the oven—until the dish becomes more than food. It becomes a bridge between everyday home cooking and a culinary ritual celebrated worldwide. Whether you have always been curious, slightly intimidated, or eager to expand your palate, this moment unfolds like a gentle invitation: perhaps this delicacy shouldn’t belong to fancy restaurants alone. Perhaps it belongs to all of us.

As I take that first bite, I share the honest truth about texture, flavor, and whether escargot deserves a spot on your table. No pretense, no gatekeeping—just good food, open conversation, and a dash of courage.

If you’ve ever wondered what escargot really tastes like or whether you could make it yourself, this video offers a grounded, personal look at the experience.
