補充一下﹐最好是能買來自己烹調的
要不在餐廳吃也可以。
田螺應該算是edible snails吧？

布小熊

they are usually referred as "escargots".

Try to figure out what exactly you have in mind, there are big differences between the Chinese mud snails found in rice patch and European
Escargots feast on grape leaves.
The former you can find in Chinese supermarket frozen seafood dept.
The French one are usually brined in cans with herbs and wine. The taste
and texture is totally different. Try the colossol size imported from France for a real treat, costs about $16 for a big can, about 100 pieces.second choice would be the one from Greece, stay away from the cheap products from Indonesia and ROC, they taste weird

Thanks to all those who replied.

Just wondering, are those western canned escargots readily available in mainstream supermarkets, like Save-on Foods?  Also, are they ready to serve?

Yes, available in mainstream supermarket.  They come in difference sizes.  The bigger ones are more expensive (but I found scary...haha).

Well, they are cooked, but you don't want to eat it like that.  So just use some butter to cook some garlic and hreb, then put them in.  They go well with mashed potatos.

I tried the fresh ones when travel to Asia. I don't think the taste of the canned ones can match with what i had.

well, i don't think we can find the fresh ones here though.

As I said, they are different species.
I have bought free French escargots in both Hong Kong
and Paris, poached in white wine and fresh herbs,
and served in puff pastry Vol-au-Vent, heavenly Bistro fare.
The Asian one you can stir-fry with garlic, shallots
and Thai basil, typical street food in Hong Kong, Vietnam
Thailand and Taiwan. Unfortunately they are only available
frozen at T&T or similiar Asian supermarket.
