"The typical snails you get in France and most places outside France are Burgundy style snails, tons of garlic and butter. This another version from Burgundy that made with white wine and mushrooms, which go great with snails."

Okay, I was a bit scared of this recipe...never had snails before. However, I was pleasantly surprised by the taste. I think the texture of the mushrooms and the texture of the snails helped me overcome my feelings. Ended up enjoying this very much.....even reheated the 2/3 cup that was leftover for lunch the next day. Got my snails at Joe Pattie's Seafood's Amangiari's Specialty Store. Thanks for sharing. Made for ZWT8.
