I have once talked to a precooked snail factory owner and he confirmed the obligatory starving period. I have never heard or lettuce or rosemary! Wouldn’t they leave some stuff anyway? Rosemary might leave a very nice aroma though… I have never heard of sand in snails (and I had snails so often!). You must have been unlucky! I wonder what they did to these snails…
My advice is to eat good snails as soon as possible I once found a black bug in canned tuna I opened and then couldn’t eat canned tuna for years. Afterwards, when I found unappetising stuff (such as worms in fish belly when cleaning it), I forced myself to eat a bit of fish because otherwise I would eliminate one more product…

Hoho, ok that is quite the unique decoration there! Beats the typical “tile and lino”.

Happy birthday, JT!!! Another great meal…wish I could get over my squeamishness and try escargot. I would have happily eaten the oysters in their place

Happy Birthday JT! I hope your day is packed with fun and sunshine. We are finally getting some sunny, warm-ish weather here – (I hope I didn’t just jinks things ).

Sandy escargot… I’ve got to say, that is one of the things that turns me off the most about shellfish… my parents adored clams, oysters and escargot (that was their treat food on special occasions) but every time I encountered a grit of sand, I just couldn’t do it. Happily though, you were rewarded with a lovely spread of dessert… I try to behave at home so that I can enjoy these sorts of restaurant treats to the fullest . Does that rôti de porc ever look good!

Thank you Lorraine, I’ll pass sling your lovely words.
Yes, there was a moment when I almost thought more than that plate would be sent back (like my lunch for example!) it’s not a pleasant thought at all.

Thank you kindly John, I shall pass along your kind wishes.
Yes you do indeed learn a lot from a restaurant. And you’re right, it is a disservice not to draw attention to the issues (in a nice way), as they will sour you from that place, and perhaps others, business will drop and then everyone will wonder why they closed down!

Thank you kindly Charlie. I am sorry about your health issues, but I know what you mean about dr’s. I’m surprised he does that himself, we always have a nurse do that.

Comment on Naan Pizza with Goats Cheese, Prosciutto and Sun-dried Tomatoes and Spinach by Eva Taylor

Hi Barbara, I know what you mean about Naan, this pizza is amazing! I really can’t get enough of the chewy crust either, and the dough is consistently excellent. I’d love to hear what you thought if you try it.

Thanks Maria, I’ll pass along your kind wishes.
Those Greek escargots sound great, I’ll bookmark it so when I’m ready to eat them again, I’ll give it a try, but it won’t be for some time sadly.
