2. As a teenager I used to order them all the time. While my friends were having salads and other girly
food I was sitting there sopping up garlic butter with bread once I had consumed the snails.

3. I don't remember anything remarkable about the taste of the escargot themselves...

... but think of them as the epitome of "vessels" for wine and garlic and butter.

6. Not the finest garlic delivery system, but certainly one that is acceptable.

15. "Garlic delivery system?"
Oh, I gotcha...like that donut delivery system Homer Simpson encountered in Hell. We'll just strap people to a chair and use an automated system to keep their mouths open while ramming clove after clove after clove down their gullets.

And trust me...as an Italian, I know a few people who would read that and say "SIGN ME UP!"

18. Most certainly :D
I try to eat one or more raw cloves a day, or cook it into what I'm eating.

Single? Why yes, yes I am :rofl::hi:

5. That's because if they called them snails, no one would eat them.

7. Other
Vehicle for garlic. Just as oysters are a vehicle for hot sauce.

9. yum!
I've had Escargot twice and both times it was delicious. Of course both times it was at 4+ star restaurant that I couldn't have afforded to go to had someone not covered the bill, lol!

12. I've had 'em, and they were good.
But, they're not something I'd order at a Steak & Ale.
