@silverfly & @jjmah Escargot is excellent, but only if it’s cooked properly. Like calamari, it gets a texture not unlike the rubber sole of a tennis shoe if it’s cooked inexpertly. Order it in an good restaurant next time and taste the difference.
For me, I think head cheese was the most disgusting alleged food I’ve ever eaten. (For those who don’t know what head cheese is, you boil the entire head of a pig, then allow all the fat, brains, eyeball, snot, and everything else that boils out of the head to congeal into an awful grey mass. Slice it up and you have head cheese.
