Escargots

I found them when visiting the hilltop Summer Palace of the 4th King of Thailand in Petchaburi.

Ah~ What a refreshing sight,


pagoda


The view from here. See? Pagoda in the distance.


While I was browsing around the palace (forbidden to take photos inside, sacred ma, disrespectful to the royalty),

I spotted these little decalicies climbing around the corner underneath the pot.

There's not one, but a whole groupies of them!

a lot of snails


This was like a hang out joint for them. They were under every single pot.

Who eats this stuff?
oh wait. I did.

See if I can find a picture somewhere here.

escargot

Ugh. seriously. I must be crazy.


I mean, does one can actually look at these and say: "ermm... escargots." *rubs tummy*
One has to be either really blind, or really love escargots.

No, make that blind and anosmia (loss of smell).
God they smell. -.-

  3. Hi, just a friendly tip. Escargot is a type of snail. Not all snails are escargot. Only certain species of snails are cooked and consumed. What you have here are not escargots.

  12. According to Wiki - Escargot is a dish of cooked land snails, usually served as an appetizer. The word is also sometimes applied to the living snails of those species which are commonly eaten.

    What you have here is a type of snail that can't be eatin.

    Tips for those ashmatics, scargot is actually good for you. Thats a natural medicine in Phils....lol
