Escargots
Snails in Butter Sauce
Snails can be served in their shells, stuffed with a garlicky parsley-shallot butter, baked until bubbling and eaten with the help of tongs and a little fork. This delicacy can be served out of their shells, in ceramic escargot dishes, in portions of six or eight.
Escargots and Wine
With such powerful flavors of garlic and parsley butter, it would almost be wasteful to serve a refined, complex wine with escargot. Stick to a relatively modest non-oaked white wine, like a Mâcon or Petit Chablis.
