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.

Everything went as described. My only problem is I purchased this product on two different ocassions and they have the same expiration date 12/11. They should rotate their stock better

Based on reviews, we ordered a case. These are awesome, just as indicated by others. Delicious when heated with garlic/shallot butter; very tender and GIANT. Very minor issues: (1) There were 16 in the can we opened. Since I assume sold/packed by weight and not number, would have been even larger if only 12. (2) strong sulfur smell when opening the can, but easily rinsed off and not apparent in heated snails. (3) I had assumed, apparently incorrectly, country of origin was France. Packaging (but not web site) indicates from Indonesia; I hope better than food coming from China! We will order again.

Bought two cases, did not realize it was 12 in a case. Tried three cans, large escargots, delicious, just make up butter seasoning,a drop of wine (optional), put in baking dish and bake at 10 min in 400 degree over. Voila! Great appetizer and great price. Gave 1/2 dozen to sister as a present - she loved them, I love them. Can imagine sitting on the Champs, eating a dozen with baguettes.

I have ordered Rolands Giant Snails on three occasions
and find them to be superb and at a superb price.

They are excellent. the delivery was very fast and very well packed. i was going to order two more cases for xmas presents, but i realized de exp. date was jan 12. there is no mention on the advertise what is the exp. date. this is very important. now i will have to wait and find out with amazon how can i be sure that the exp. date is not close. especially that i star making my xmas presents very soon.

I bought these for my parents because they love escargots and for the price, I thought I would tried them out. They are great. They are tender, the snails themselves are huge and you can't beat the price. My parents say that this is probably the best snails and escargot they've had. I would definitely recommend them.

I was so pleased to find the 1 dozen size Roland brand escargot. This brand is carried in our very gourmet grocery store but in a 2 dozen size quantity. My husband and are have spent time in France and are escargot fans but can't eat more than 6 snails each. I was reluctant to freeze the remainder of an open 2 doz can - the 1 doz. size is perfect. They are delicious prepared in a simple garlic/butter/parley sauce and baked in special escargot dishes I purchased at the same time. I did not use the shells that can also be purchased for that purpose.

The order was sent promtly and I would buy this product again.
