Jan 13, 2009: Snail Caviar
caviar
SYLLABICATION: cav·i·ar
PRONUNCIATION: kv-är, käv-
VARIANT FORMS: also cav·i·are
NOUN: The roe of a large fish, especially sturgeon, that is salted, seasoned, and eaten as a delicacy or relish.
Move over Sturgeon, there's a new roe on the hors d'oeuvres... Snail Caviar.
|
Caviar and snails – two of France’s most loved delicacies come together with the release of the first-of-its-kind snail caviar by De Jaeger, a snail farm specializing in this exotic delicacy. Being the first in the world to produce snail caviar shell-less and unpasteurized, the farm - founded by two former snail farmers - spent nearly four years perfecting the production and harvesting process, resulting in tiny, smooth cream-colored pearls that reportedly burst on the tongue with subtle autumn and woody flavors. |

Bit steep in price, but otherwise I'd be game to try, as I've eaten and liked snails.

Hope it tastes better than the original caviar.. (Think Tom Hanks in BIG.)
Stuff tastes like metal paste.

*wrinkles up nose* doesnt appeal...

Fail.

This must be the ultimate slow food. Not only is it eggs, but it's the as-yet unhatched eggs of a snail. You can have my share, all of it. Please.

THey look like bath beads, but probably don't smell very good. I wouldn't take a bath with them. Of course, I wouldn't eat bath beads, either.

Snail eggs, eyeballs, still breathing fish flailed and cooked alive, I can't wait until Friday to see another cute fuzzy little critter that's more appealing to eat.

I prefer chicken caviar.

Snails are kinda cute, but I pass on them so would pass on the eggs too and way to stupid of a price

Hmmm. Unpasteurized.

Also, beware of the giant carnivorous snail!

Gravdigr Friday Jan 16 11:04 AM

Sometimes just knowing that when future generations unearth a thread, they'll chuckle and think, that poster was a clever sob.
