 Delicious! September 8, 2009

I am not someone who will eat snails very often, but I decided to try a simple recipe with these snails and a garlic sauce. It was extremely easy to make and the snails were fantastic- tasted just like the kind you would have in a fancy French restaurant!

I bought a case of these before Christmas on a 20% off promotion. I gave away a few cans as "stocking stuffers" but mostly we just ate them! WONDERFUL. This is a very reliable brand, perfectly tender and fresh. The "very large" size is the perfect size for my escargot dishes and would also fit perfectly in smaller white mushroom caps. I've kept my leftover "snail butter" (butter, shallots, garlic, parsely and cognac!) in the frig and we'll enjoy another can of these for Valentines Day with a fresh baguette. Try them...you won't be disappointed and your guests will be blown away. A whole CASE of these could be less than you'd pay for the same old/same old cheese,cold cuts, and chips for a single party. Plan on six snails per person -- very rich.

If you have a taste for snails, you can't beat ROLAND brand. Large plump snails at a reasonable price.

The only reason there are four stars instead of five is that one of the ingredients is black pepper which was not listed on the ingredients of the product on line. Some of us are not supposed to eat black pepper.
The snails themselves are quite nice with excellent texture and flavor, and the price was right. We eat snails regularly, mostly in the traditional snail garlic butter, tossed with Tinkyada brand rice pasta. That makes a delicious meal without the bother of stuffing snail shells and washing the things afterwards.
 Many snails May 11, 2010
wogan (Indiana&Maryland- U.S.A.)
These snails are of a satisfactory quality at an absolutely inexpensive price. The reason for the lower rating in the stars is that, despite the fact that they are advertised as very clean I frequently have found grit and bits of shell, not enough to be off putting, but enough that I would not have wanted to serve them to company. The other complaint is the non advertised inclusion of pepper, not enough to be hot but just enough to create a bit of a bitter taste, even with rinsing. I have found the 12 ounce cans of giant snails, of this same brand a much better texture, freer of grit and even though a bit more expensive worth the price. At an even better level are the helix escargot if you really want to taste a higher quality.
These do not have to be stuffed into shells, I simply put them in a small oven proof bowl, after rinsing well and shaking the water off in a colandar - with chives, garlic, bits, a tiny bit of garlic salt and place pats of butter on top, pop them into a 375 degree oven for 15 minutes and they are ready.
Hopefully one thing that has improved and that I did not make part of the qualification for my review was the packing, it was done very poorly and many of the cans were dented on the bottom - they were replaced, but be sure to check your whole package if you order them.
