Roland Escargot Snails, Giant, 7.75 Ounce (Pack of 12)

These snails are delicious. Butter, garlic and toast points are all you need for a great escargot appetizer.

Great product, east to prepare

My wife and I both like snails in garlic/butter sauce and will have as a main course with lots of french bread. These are actually giant and yet tender with no sand/grit and flavorful. I recently read an article about the threat to the wild French/Italian snails and a comment by a French chef that if the wild variety became unavailable that he would quit serving escargot rather than use the Indonesian farm raised variety such as these. Fine for a purist, but if your palate is less refined and you would like to actually be able to afford escargot, you won't be disappointed with the flavor and texture of these snails. We have bought multiple cases over time and have had consistently good results with Roland.Note that the picture shows them in the shell. These are just the snails, if you want to serve in the shell you will need to buy the shells separately. I prefer them naked on a bread crust or in a mushroom cap; sauteed with lots of parsley, butter and garlic. Now I'm hungry!

I have been buying Roland escargot for decades. The price has gone through the roof in stores (like everything else, Bidenomics) but buying 12 cans at once (splitting with another aficianado) really makes them affordable.Great product, and the recipe on the can is just what you want. Buy snail shells, and remember they are reuseable after a good soapy boil and rinse!

These are absolutely wonderful!! No tin can taste. I took the advice of a recipe and let the canned escargot sit in cold water for at least five minutes (to get rid of any tin can taste), but I drained the water and did this three times, just for good measure and because I have a slight case of OCD. Made husband and myself a wonderful appetizer of garlic and Guyere cheese escargot. YUM! Love that we have plenty more cans/opportunities, and I have other recipes to try. Next up, Anthony Bourdain's recipe! Even Anthony Bourdain admits that the majority of fancy French restaurants do not provide patrons with fresh escargot; they use canned. But where to begin making a canned escargot purchase? I appreciatef the Amazon reviews so much, and this was a purchase I made strictly on that basis. And these are good-sized escargot.

found 9 out of 12 dented

The product has never disappointed me as Roland is well known for its quality. My problem with this shipment is that 4 of the 6 cans in the package were severely dented. If I had physically seen these cans in the condition in which they arrived, I would have never purchased the items. This is not the first time that I ordered snails from this place and I was extremely surprised at the fact that these cans were already dented before they were packaged. In the past, all shipments were fine. The outside box was not damaged at all. I surely hope and trust that is a 'once only error' and not an event that will repeat itself on any subsequent orders.

OMG!!! OMG!!! OMG!!!! Wow wow wow!!!!! BUY THIS ABSOLUTE GEM from Amazon at AMAZON Savings!!!!! NO GRIT! MILD TASTE!!! Just rinse and make your filling of a little butter, minced parsley, organic garlic paste, pepper, salt and add freshly shredded parmesan cheese plus breadcrumbs to your filling, add add a dot to the bottom of each well in a snail dish (no need to mess with the tedium of snail shells) then cut each of these gigantic babies in half and marinate in chardonnay in the AM after rinsing well out of the can,.. you will get FOUR healthy servings out of each can!!!! cheaper than a dollar menu at mcdo++alds!!! sweat the shalotts in a bit of butter for a couple mins, add the snail halves and deglaze with a bit of chardonnay to warm thru, then put a dot of the cheese/butter/parsley filling to the bottom of each well, place the half snail in, then top with any leftover shallots from the simmer pot and remainder of filling. bake for 10 min on 400, and turn up to broil for 2 or 3 min. GOOD GRIEF!! we just came back from Colorado and paid 13.00 for 1/2 doz of these babies, and this is a state fair winner recipe using Roland's snails!!! seriously the best thing I have ever eaten in my life. IGNORE ALL IDIOTS WHO SAY THIS PRODUCT IS INFERIOR!!!!!!!!!!! IGNORE ALL IDIOTS WHO SAY THIS PRODUCT IS GRITTY!
