Today I was watching Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmern on the travel channel. A favorite show of mine. I usally get grossed out, but I can handle it. Well, anyway today's re-run was of foods of Paris. Of course the French love Escargot! That is one thing that I do like a lot. But, they recently came up with Snail Caviar. Andrew went to a farm were the snails make their eggs. Did you know that snails are both male and female and they swap each others eggs. I find that fascinating. Well, anyway this caviar is expensive. I don't know if I will ever get a chance to try it. I've only had the fish eggs that are on sushi which I like because they are crunchy and don't really have a taste. The other time was either at Danny and I's engagement dinner or at the Biltmore Inn on our honeymoon. It was neat because they burst in your mouth, but they are a little fishy tasting and very salty. So, I'm not a true caviar fan, though I would be willing to at least try Caviar d'escargot. Ummm... all this talk of escargot make me want some of Cafe Margaux Escargot and Isreali Couscous! Too bad! They don't serve it anymore, I'm way too far away and I can't eat couscous!!
