Excellent snails for a great price...what else can you say? Either you love them or you don't....we do.

The escargot I ordered were great. There was actually more than I expected, and the shipment came on-time, as promised.

Very tender, perfect for a meal to impress. The price is unbeatably low w/ Subscribe & Save, a great way to indulge.

Im writing only to voice that, like another reviewer, oddly also in Colorado, mine arrived rather bashed up-enough so that I will discard the cans. Purhcased directly from Amazon-they were in a plastic bag in a larger box, along with another item-I cannot absolutley determine if they are sold dented or were damaged in transit-

However, if i had to guess based on the packing and how they fit and the position of the dents versus other stuff in the box-which could only have touched the can tops-these are sent with dents

Amazon was great about a credit when i reported the damaged item. Was looking forward to trying these after the great reviews.

I might add too, this is a product of Indonesia -so these are what i believe are aschatane-ie Asian snails-an equally nice snail -but not the same as French Helix snails most often found in restaurants

Every can looked as if it were struck several times with a hammer before packaged for shipping. Probably seconds that were aquired under the cover of darkness.

Packed 72-in, I expected the snails to be smaller. They were very large and the liquid drainage was minimal. I was happy and surprised at the value. I will order again from CONSUL!

How disappointing to find that these Consul Escargots (in a somewhat European looking package) are actually a Product of Indonesia... I hadn't even questioned they'd be from anywhere other than France as I've never seen any escargots that weren't. Live and learn.

Amazon really needs to disclose country of origin on their products, especially on food products.

I've since reordered Roland Escargots which are French; I wish they'd been in stock when I placed my first order.

*Amazon did make good on the situation.

We served them with garlic sauce in mushroom caps and one can served eight adults with left overs. Wonderful treat.

I'm used to the tiny restaurant escargots that are more like snail shooters. Better use a knife on these though, 'cause they're almost to big to eat in one bite. I recommend cutting puff pastry circles slightly larger than each individual "cup" in the baking bowl. Unbelievable consistency and flavor. The "cover" seals in the moisture and flavor and you get just the right ratio of escargot:pastry. Enjoy.

i don't eat snails much so I have nothing to compare to, but I was impressed by the size and relative cost of these snails. Didn't pay nearly as much for them as I would have expected. They were fun to cook with, but not something I would buy on a regular basis.
