(10分!!!急急急!!)法國蝸牛 French snail(用英文答呀)

1. L ' escargot / Les escargots.

2. snail, nothing more.

3. & 5. Ingredients and preparation

Purge and clean the snails
Cook them in boiling water
Remove the snail flesh from the shell
Make a butter, garlic and herb mixture
Place some of the mixture in the bottom of the empty snail shell, then add the snail flesh, then fill the remaining space with the mixture
Place the stuff snails on a baking tray and then bake them in the oven
Serve the snails. Escargot is eaten with a small thin fork, which is used to extract the flesh from the shell. Special tongs are available to hold the shell while this is done; while useful they are not absolutely necessary.

In practice, almost everyone buys escargot partially or completely prepared. Just as the vast majority of people (in western countries) buy chickens which are already plucked and gutted, most people cooking escargot would buy then after the first 3 steps have already been completed, and often the first 5 steps (in which case one only needs bake them in the over).


4. Escargot History

Although mainly considered a French dish, escargot (snails) have been eaten for many thousands of years. Large quantities of empty shells have been found in the caves of prehistoric man, indicating that in various parts of the world they were a common part of the diet at that time. With the rise of civilisation, various cultures (including the Greeks and Romans) have continued to eat snails, often considering them a delicacy. (more on the website)

6. Very popular, found in many French restaurants in France, even on tourist menus.


Escargot in France

The French reportedly consume approximately 40 000 tons of escargot each year, making them the world's largest consumers of escargot. Much of this is imported, as the French are currently (2006) unable to produce enough snails domestically to meet the demand. Consumption is particularly high during festive times (e.g. New Year) as escargot is a somewhat expensive delicacy.
