I've made escargot a few times before, but this recipe is by far the best. The snails were cooked perfectly and the sauce was amazing.

I'm not sure what all the fuss is about. I tried escargot for the first time and I thought it was just okay.

Escargot is not my thing, but my husband loved it. He said it was the best escargot he's ever had.

The escargot were delicious, but the sauce was a bit too salty for my taste. I would recommend using less salt in the sauce next time.

The escargot were a bit chewy for my taste, but the sauce was delicious. I would try this dish again with a different cooking method.
