I ACTUALLY ATE A SNAIL!...IT WAS HILARIOUS!

in #food6 years ago

While we were on our cruise to Alaska, one evening we had dinner in the main dining room. On the menu they offered Escargot. My 13 year old son asked me what that was. I told him it was SNAILS! He started laughing, then said, "Mom, I want to try one!"

I told him sure, and chuckled. Then he said, "Will YOU eat them with me?" That surprised me, but I thought, why not, you only live once! Lol!

So we ordered them. When they came, they kinda looked like mushrooms.

My son went first. His face was SO funny! Then, he said he actually kinda liked them!

At that moment....It felt like I was eating an EYEBALL!
I almost couldn't swallow it! LOL

Oh, I don't think I could be that brave! Good job!

Oh, it was SO funny! I don't think I would eat one again! LOL

We had escargot at a small restaurant in our hometown. It was 3-4 years ago, but my daughter actually got mad at me when she discovered that it was actually snails. She did NOT want her mommy putting a snail in her mouth! They came stuffed in mushrooms, but the taste was fine! Then again, if I had someone making me laugh and doing a gagging sound, I might have had trouble finishing it too! Lol!
