DESCRIPTION:

Escargot is French for "snail." Snails have been part of human diets for millenniums.

In 54 BC, the army of Julius Caesar dined on snails throughout its conquest of what today we know as France, Luxembourg, Belgium, most of Switzerland, Northern Italy, and parts of The Netherlands and Germany.

Snails became popular as a dessert during the Renaissance. Being shelled gastropods and a form of land mollusk, they are classified as "fish" in religious diets. As fish, eating them didn't violate the Christian mandate to eat fish on Fridays or Lent's no-meat restrictions.

By the 1890s, Escargots à la Bourgignonne (snails with butter-parsley-garlic sauce) had gone from dessert to appetizer and were considered a posh addition to any meal.

Happy Escargot Day!
