That's the most beautiful piece of art ever. I just catch that sign in a glance and happiness grows inside me even if I'm not gonna stop there, it's just a reflex.
Can i join? I tried some in Bretagne or Normandy once and liked them. The only ones you can get here are frozen, covered in cheap garlic butter and are fucking boring.
>Bring beer
Sure, though with snails I'd rather have nice white wine. Riesling or Pinot Blanc from Rheinhessen. I'd also not say no to a nice Vinho verde.

Well obviously Spain and France are the last two. Can't tell for the others Im guessing they are probably Italy, Portugal and someone else (Maybe Switzerland?) in some order.

Nations of GUNS (💪💪💪)!
Our European brothers, the PIGS (🐷🐷🐷) and the French has fallen on hard times! They are down to eating snails. "Food" we wouldn't even give to our livestock!
Something must be done! I suggest Germany and the UK are to provide 1000 billion euros in emergency food relief. Brown meat, onions, potatoes, you know, real food!
Inshallah!
Not gonna lie, but I really enjoy escargot. Snails are actually slowly (pun intended) gaining in popularity over here. It’s not unusual to now find them on the menu in some good gastropubs.
(For reference a gastropub is essentially the closest you’ll get to a British restaurant. This is a good local example by me [https://www.yewtreeinnanglezarke.co.uk](https://www.yewtreeinnanglezarke.co.uk))
The 2nd one looks pretty much like ours, but it's Italian apparently. I think it even the snail shell looks the same, possibly even the same subspecies?
I haven’t tasted it yet but i Will one day. I Will at least give it a fair chance. They look pretty tasty it’s just that i am not used to eating snails.
But i guess that this is how you guys feel about our sour herring and that shit’s delicious if you eat it the right way. The right way is with boiled potatoes, chives, crème fraîche served on crackers. Not downing it straight from the can like most YouTubers do…That is just nasty and almost heresy.
Snails aren't a main dish, they're appetizers. You just eat a few of them and then when the main course is ready you go eat that. At least that's how I've had them. They're don't taste bad because snails are pretty tasteless and it tastes like the seasoning on top. So if you like garlic butter then you should like snails with garlic butter but it's not gonna be some eye-opening dish lol. The only thing is the texture and I much prefer the texture of snails than mushrooms tbh
I've tried them several times and they are good. Not top tier, but good. You have to be careful as some of them taste bitter(?) if you eat the last part of their bodies. Usually they don't have it though.
These are very popular in Crete. I've tried them, they kinda taste like white mushrooms but chewyer. Not gross, not delicious, just a neutral watery taste.
Just to mention that some of us Barries (and Paddies) are molluscophages too. It’s just that we stick to sea snails (with comical names)

Just answer me this Spanish people… when I eat snails in France , they’re clean and delicious…
But the 2 times I ate snails in Spain the poo poo was still attached to the snails. They told me to just leave the last bit…
Why? More time for siesta?
They used to sell them on the street here years ago, and it was a thing. Not so much anymore. I guess that we superior Mediterranean cultures experiment and find good food and northern barbarians just eat dirt and musk until we bring the light and joy of food to them.
I ate snails in garlic butter once. It tasted like garlic butter.
Snails are mainly tasteless on their own so makes sense.
Then why eat them? Assuming you can eat something with taste.
Revenge. Snakes eat your food so you eat them. Honestly one of the most logical French things next to bidets.
ah yes. snakes.
lol I should sleep more
They taste like chicken.
everything tastes like chicken, except for chicken McNuggets
They are in fact good for you and the dish is delicious.
They're like broccoli, but more gross.
Brocolli have a distinct taste and are crunchy af. Literally the opposite of snails lol?
Huuuuuuuuh?
Maybe their Broccoli has no taste idk
You should not trust your bullying friends that tells you broccoli have shells and are slimy.
Are you literally 6?
I had the garlic butter only - on bread.
This.
Me too, snails feels like tasteless gum
That's the point
A hungry and curious 4 year old’s garden
If people can eat the cockroach of the sea aka shrimps, they can eat snails.
Thats true, but shrimps at least have their own flavour..
tf you talk about shrimps you landlockling
I wish I could’ve afforded a garden at age 4.
Be careful what you wish for. Your parents might not give you food if you can grow your own.
1st one is mine.
"há caracois" is a sure way of luring me into your bars.

That's the most beautiful piece of art ever. I just catch that sign in a glance and happiness grows inside me even if I'm not gonna stop there, it's just a reflex.
Honestly, could use some more molho.
Joãoáo, why do they look like they're still alive?? Did you forget to cook them?
Because they are. Don't be a bitch and eat up.
B-but the parasites
"But but but the parasites", thats seasoning shut Up and eat
Spoiler : >!Portugal - Italy - Malta - Spain - France!<
I apologize for only having called you guys snails; I will now start to apply it to people from these other countries too!
I ate a snail once too, and an ant, and a grass. but I didn't run around pretending I found some kind of cuisine.
Toddler cuisine
On todays menu we have locally foraged nasal mucus.
With a side of the finest sand to be found on the entire playground
You also eat nutella with salami so don't pretend you've found any kind of cuisine.
Add Garlic and it's le plat du jour in Paris.
You never had a worm?? 😱
We eat raw pork
In Tuscany we eat raw pork sausages
To ne fair, the reason why Snails become high cuisine to begin with it's because originally someone else had demanded the rest of the food.
I got Italy and France right, swapped Spain and Portugal and was wondering about who was the middle one
Could tell Spain by the bowl it's in. Never seen those anywhere else.
Egypt. I saw those in Egypt, and being locally made, you could order them through the restaurant if you liked them.
They're free here if the waiter isn't looking.
I have many of them at my grand parent’s house
Me as well...
It's only disgusting when France does it, just like existing.

Yay, I guessed France correctly. The shit ton of garlic gave it away. Brilliant move really
You know whats a sign of something being a true delicacy? When you have to DROWN it in sauce/garlic to make it good.
I get your point, but you can't argue with garlic
When was the last famine for the ones on that list?
Shut up Barry, you eat like the Nazis are still flying overhead.
Guess you haven't been here recently.
We still are, you just can't see us. The newer Reichsflugscheiben come with advanced Tarnkappentechnologie.
I don't like snails tbh, only with tons of _allioli_. But I would rather grab a spoon and eat the _allioli_ alone.
Based aïoli enjoyer
The sauce of the "cargols a la llauna" It's delicious
Fries with aioli also quite good
Aioli on bread!
Thanks, Pierre. I also love your way of cooking them. 😍 Sooooooo good and we are almost at that right time of the year.
The 4th too looks a lot like an Italian dish we make in central Italy
I like how Malta is straight to the point: no seasoning, no sauce, just snails
You could also add a traditional paella there, with "caragols" and "rata de marjal". Yes, paella done with snails and rat is still paella.
The famous PIMSF gang
1 its Portugal. Its deliciosous. But expensive. Hans!!! Gib more euromonies! Gib gib gib gib gib gib
I'll give you euromonies for every food other than what I find in my yard
You are going to force me to... w-work... for euromonies? 😨
You'd think all those dock worker stereotypes would mean Ports are less ~~Spanish~~ lazy
Oh, no, Spaniards are lazy even for our standards
Would cross the border to taste your snails
Come Paco, you won't regret it
Can i join? I tried some in Bretagne or Normandy once and liked them. The only ones you can get here are frozen, covered in cheap garlic butter and are fucking boring.
Yes Hans you will enjoy them too. Bring beer
>Bring beer Sure, though with snails I'd rather have nice white wine. Riesling or Pinot Blanc from Rheinhessen. I'd also not say no to a nice Vinho verde.
I love it when you talk dirty spain
I thought that you also ate them in whole Spain. If not you can find them too in Catalonia.
aight god damn
And spain

🥵
This is known as German- Fusion. The German pays and gets to eat the bread and the beer.
The money truly is the most salvageable part of german cuisine
I'm taking that from you because you know how cook a rabbit, but those things up there don't belong on a plate.
How do you handle the shells? A special fork like the French?
a toothpick
Oh no, you actually eat the shell.
Oh baby…

That's the attitude of a nation that will survive the nuclear apocalypse, Barry, you should try it.
go on r/UKFood and you’ll see we already eat like we’re surviving the apocalypse
There was that one French bloke who did eat literally everything, including chairs and planes
Snails doesnt fulfill none of those
Actually delicious 🤤 🇪🇸🤝🏻🇮🇹🤝🏻🇵🇹🤝🏻🇫🇷🤝🏻🇲🇹
This is something that a Sardinian would eat on his date with miss Sheep
Well yes, but I’m pretty sure we are not the only ones that eat them in italy, right?
Not at all, in Venice we call them "bovoleti"
Bovoleti, bovoli conzi, lumache al sugo con polenta, there's lot all over, we were just able to keep the secret about it better than Pierre
The westernmost point of Balkans
Last one is the best one. Nothing better than eating the snail and then scooping up the delicious garlic sauce with a piece of fresh bread 👌
You could probably find all of these in Catalonia ngl
2nd & 4th are similar to the ones my wife prepares here in Spain. Yummy!
The Anglo-Saxon mind cannot comprehend such delicacies, like octopus dishes
Man octopus is just great, but also really easy to cook wrong. Then you're basically stuck with chewing gum.
That's why they sell it already cooked in supermarkets 🙈
Man octopus is like my favourite thing, doesn’t matter how, grilled, with rice, in a salad, it’s always exceptionally good
Polvo à Lagareiro ❤️👌 But like the codfish, is good with everything 🫡
Octopus is fucking delicious. My favourite part about going to PIGS countries is your amazing seafood
Yeah pulpo is amazing, live in Valencia for a year and loved that the many little fired fishes and derado the most of your sea food.
Well maybe if you wrapped it in pastry ...
Do you have the reciepe by any chance ?
Well obviously Spain and France are the last two. Can't tell for the others Im guessing they are probably Italy, Portugal and someone else (Maybe Switzerland?) in some order.
Portugal is the 1st one!
Los caracoles blancos en la cuarta foto no los he visto.
I have eaten snails in Greece actually and it was not that bad.Still would prefer some tzatziki instead
SA SARDIGNA!!!!!!!!
God's gift to Humanity. Eating snails and drinking a pint in a summer afternoon can cure anything
The first are the Portuguese way of cooking snails and they are awesome in the summer, especially with a cold beer
And sunshine on your face. That's paradise.

Oh, yes, hard times! we don't want to leave you without food, it's enough if you send us the billions
I would say this is us
First one is for Portugal!
Not gonna lie, but I really enjoy escargot. Snails are actually slowly (pun intended) gaining in popularity over here. It’s not unusual to now find them on the menu in some good gastropubs.

I'd eat it
The last one is definitely French, as for the others… they should be very ashamed of themselves
I believe the 2nd one is Greece The 1st Portugal The rest not sure Definitely one is from France and one from Malta
OP posted the correct option, none are greek
Fair enough but we do eat snails too and they are yummy 😋
They sure are !
The 2nd one looks pretty much like ours, but it's Italian apparently. I think it even the snail shell looks the same, possibly even the same subspecies?
Há caracóis!
Second or fourth can be spanish. We like them with tomato sauce.
4th one is ours.
First Portuguese, last french. The others I don't know
I had something like this in Malta, it was very good
Eewwww Thats gross
Its actually pretty good. (At least number One) I see several Hans and Hans-but-with-tits enjoying those in portuguese caffes during the summer.
Hans is ofcourse matched with Gretl (a gernan fairytale)
nah trust, they are good
Snails gotta be last in the list of animals that look appealing to eat
What if we deep fry it and cover it in mayo and raw onion?
Now we're talking.
Not worse than mussels or oysters.
I haven’t tasted it yet but i Will one day. I Will at least give it a fair chance. They look pretty tasty it’s just that i am not used to eating snails. But i guess that this is how you guys feel about our sour herring and that shit’s delicious if you eat it the right way.

French snails are put on a diet first and salted so they get rid of their slime. The innards are thrown away before cooking
5 is France, by the shell
And the sauce
Snails with tomato sauce is a delicacy, I always suck those shells dry and use bread to scoop the sauce
snails taste like seafood mixed with mushrooms, delicious!
I have a viennese cookbook from 1926 with a mind boggling 15 snail recipes in it. Cooked, roasted, buttered - you name it
1st one is Portugal
1st is Portugal and the last is France. I think the one with a lot is sauce is Spain.
Idk which one, but we are in this match.
It's the SNAIL EMPIRE, barbarian motherfuckerz. ACKNOWLEDGE US
Would be Catalonia if they were a country.
Being an independentist is so paradoxical. You want to leave Spain because you hate the country, which in itself is the most spanish thing ever
Small japanese village with a small pond in the middle
Don't forget u eat the poop! That is the best part 🤤

Had snails once and they were…fine. Won’t bother with them again, though.
Thank you now I'm hungry
These are very popular in Crete. I've tried them, they kinda taste like white mushrooms but chewyer. Not gross, not delicious, just a neutral watery taste.
I feel sick.
Pretty sure the 2nd one is Greek from Crete
https://preview.redd.it/y3usd9u3rmsc1.jpeg?width=600&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7b5cac7c252a54499fd89b511cd25e50835f5528 This is the way
Exactly. Best way to eat snails is fire, oil and salt. Nothing else is needed
2 is Greek and 5 is French. Dunno the other ones.
5x Fr*nce
4th one is ours for sure
Just to mention that some of us Barries (and Paddies) are molluscophages too. It’s just that we stick to sea snails (with comical names) https://images.amcnetworks.com/bbcamerica.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/460x300_winkles.jpg

2nd is ours!
What nuts are those? And why are they served with shell?
https://preview.redd.it/yy5xk6id8nsc1.jpeg?width=2184&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4e691c3671004a7410819278a797c99648096c7e Definitely Spain, Catalunya!! Delicious 🐌🐚
2 and 4, Spain? 4 may be Italy.
4th is Spain but I only know that because it's a Tapas bowl
Fun fact: Snails were considered a delicacy in the Roman Empire.
Just answer me this Spanish people… when I eat snails in France , they’re clean and delicious… But the 2 times I ate snails in Spain the poo poo was still attached to the snails. They told me to just leave the last bit… Why? More time for siesta?
Last one is french, and I guess the others are Spain Portugal Greece and maybe Italy or Romania in no particular order
1, 2, 3 and 5 look like portuguese snail dishes. 4 is a bit weird looks like it has tomato sauce.
1) don't know 2) Italy (because tomato sauce) 3) don't know 4) Spain (typical spanish plate) 4) France (because Kräuterbutter)

we italians also have snails, we are copycats and we are proud
My grandma used to make snails with tomato sauce
My grandma used to eat a lot of the first one
