These snails are awesome. They are the best tasting escargot I have ever had, at any restaurant, anywhere. I was worried that the giant snails might be too big, and they are larger than any I had ever seen. But they are so tender that you can just bite right through them. These are delicious and I am waiting for amazon to get more in stock so I can order more. I prepared some on a family vacation and parents, cousins, uncles, aunts were all raving over them...even people who didn't know they liked escargot! And, by the way, this 12-pack is the best deal on earth. Order the $5 HIC escargot plate with them, find a butter recipe online, buy some crostinis at the grocery store and enjoy. The little plate fits in my toaster oven and I have wonderful escargot in 5 minutes.

If you were to imagine the biggest, sweetest, most tender escargot in the universe, you'd still be pleasantly surprised after opening a can of these lovelies and baking them gently.

I'm an escargot lover and also a Yankee. The combination of those 2 things has made it hard for me to order escargot in a restaurant. I have on occasion, but $10. for 6 tiny, albeit tasty morsels has caused minor pangs in my Yankee heart. Add to that the trend in the US for more casual dining and even finding escargot on the menu now is less likely than it was 10 years ago. So, not a big deal. Life goes on...no snails for Jo Ana.

Until now. I was doing some grocery shopping on Amazon the other day and discovered the Subscribe and Save program. While checking it out I found the Roland Giant Snails and ordered a box of them, hoping for the best but not expecting the largest snails I've ever seen in my life times 2 !! I'm not a big eater, but 6 of these with a small vegetable portion is dinner for me. I bake them with organic extra virgin coconut oil heavily laced with garlic and WOW ! My first bite reminded me how much I love escargot and the rest of the bites made me very very happy that I'm an Amazon customer who happened upon the Save & Subscribe program!

If you love escargot, you will be very pleasantly surprised with the size, taste and overall yumminess of this product !

If you truly enjoy eating then you will truly enjoy escargot; even though you may not know it if you have never tasted. If you love and enjoy escargot, then I promise you that you will absolutely love this product. These puppies are BIG! Now I know that big does not always mean better, but I have to say I have never tasted better and I have eaten these things in many restaurants, in many homes and locations around the world. I come from several generations of snail lovers and we are all pretty picky!

These snails are tender, not mushy as you often find and if prepared correctly can send you into a state of gastronomic nirvana. A bit of EVOO, garlic and a touch of salt, a dash of wine and a hot oven and you have pure heaven at the table.

I cannot believe the price here on Amazon. I buy this same product at a local store and can assure you that I pay much, much more.

As one reviewer has pointed out, it is very difficult to find these in many restaurants these days. When I was a little girl, traveling with my parents all over the U.S. it was not much of a problem. Times have changed though and if you want a `snail fix,' you are quite often forced to do it yourself. Fortunately that is not difficult if you have a quality product to begin with. It this case, you do.

Whether you buy here on Amazon or buy locally, don't let these slip by you.
