Savor the authentic taste of Paris in a dish of escargots, or edible snails, a delicacy deeply rooted in French cuisine. Surround yourself with the elegance of Maurice Pillard Verneuil's designs, featuring intricate patterns of birds, ladybirds, maiden hair fern, golden pheasants, and iris, as well as charming snail and toadstool motifs. Indulge in the rich history of this dish, depicted in James Gillray's "French Liberty - British Slavery," where they were considered a luxury item. Fast forward to present day, and the snail seller's wares continue to tantalize our senses with their tantalizing aroma and texture. Appreciate the beauty of these mollusks up close, from their intricate patterns to the delicate cooked escargots de Bourgogne. Bon appétit.
