It truly baffles me that escargot is considered a “delicacy”. There’s snails literally everywhere and it’s easy as fuck to “catch” them. I don’t have a problem with people eating snails, but if they’re a “delicacy” then call me a queen because I could eat escargot anytime I want.

Its just another example of food gentrification
I blame the French!
Yeah and also…it’s snails
Bacon, ribs, lobster, ox tail, crawfish...
All trash food that the poors learned how to make taste good, then the uppity liberal whites discovered, brought to their favorite restaurants, and now you can't get 'em cheap anymore.
Food gentrification.
Yeah, but pretty sure yours and the delicacy aren't the same. Pretty good if im being honest. But, most things in butter and garlic are p good.
I’ve never had mine or the French. If im gonna eat something boogery, I much prefer oysters 😂
No thanks. Snails are not on the edible side of the line unless SHTF. I'll sauté some frozen mussels in garlic butter sauce from ALDI though.
There’s levels to the mollusk game and snails are at the bottom😂
French jerky, pretty chewy
You will eat the bugs and you'll be..... feeling like a queen!
I learned today that it’s not a bug, it’s a mollusk. I guess I should have known because of the shell, but I disagree. I’m still gonna classify it as a bug in my mind
There’s an old anime based on a future full of space travel called cowboy bebop. You may have heard of it 👀
There was an episode that talked about a food shortage the world experienced. People were so desperate for food that they started eating rats. Once the food shortage ended, the rat meat producers and farms wanted to keep their businesses going. So they started to market rat meat as a rare delicacy. In this episode, rat meat is the most expensive item on restaurant menus. People eat it and think it’s more delicious because of that brainwashing.
I imagine something similar happened with these snails 😂
Well the same thing happened in real human history with lobsters. They were not always the delicacy they are today. But that being said, I would probably eat rat before snail if I had the choice
I think… I would… too
😂😂
Omg I forgot to tell you. I smoked a joint yesterday. You’re right it’s a fucking different high.

Oooo shit. Welcome to my and puzzles’ life 😂 I won’t have my marijuana any other way
I still prefer gummies because I don’t like cooking my lungs. And pens are convenient because they don’t leave you smelling like weed. Will def do every now and then.
Yeah but in my opinion, joints are the most pure experience especially if you enjoy the taste element which I do 🤷♀️ I have tried so many times to get on board with edibles, but it’s a totally different high and I hate the taste of the vapes, but a lot of people prefer not to smoke so I get that too
But nozzy, have you met the Nissan S-cargo? Mmhmm, bet you want one. 😄 bit of a clown car but I think it's cute.
Wait do you already know I drive and am obsessed with Nissan cubes already or is this a coincidence? I’ve never seen this (maybe they never came to America), but this is potentially the most adorable car I have ever seen and now I want it 😂
😄 I didn’t know you drive a Cube. Cute, perfect for city driving. They’re not in America, unfortunately. The furthest I’ve ever seen it away from Japan is in Vancouver, Canada.
It was the first car I ever wanted, I was so excited when I finally got one and they don’t make them anymore so it’s getting more and more expensive to repair, but I refuse to let it go 😂
This little bus is news to me though and I’m gonna look at pictures tonight because they are too cute
Ya, I do not get it. I feel it is a snobby French thing. Like, make it sound fancy and so it will be. It is a fucking snail.
I always got that vibe too that it’s like a snob food and I’m like bitch, they’re sliming all over my driveway right now🤷♀️😂
I guess you could also say lobsters are ocean cockroaches and are marketed as a delicacy 🤷♀️ there is a lot of food like that

I just referenced this in another not 😂🫂 great minds
Haha indeed! I find this stuff fascinating for sure. 🫂😆
Same here, I wonder what is gonna be the new rags to riches food 🤔
Hmm it depends. I think there is a spectrum right now. Like from really low processed food: farm to table like raw milk. At my local butcher a quarter of a gallon it is $15! Insane. But it sells out every week. Farmers Markets are becoming ridiculous. Farmers markets were supposed to cut out the middle man and be a more affordable option. Not anymore.
Or to highly processed food you can't even tell it was once factory sludge.
Vegan spam? Luxury McDonald's?
But nothing super specific comes to mind.
What do you think?
Actually I think you’re dead on with the low-processed. Isn’t raw milk deemed illegal/dangerous or something now? I can’t think of anything else specific, but I would presume there will be shortages and what not of new things
Oh yea I forgot about the shortages. That would definitely drive up the price.
For raw milk it depends where you are. In some places the only way people can sell raw milk is by labeling it as pet food. Idk if it is actually dangerous if you know the farmer and how the cow is treated. But if its factory farmed and filled with chemicals I doubt it would be safe.
I don't trust USA standards for food 😓
I don’t think raw milk is dangerous at all, but that seems to be how the media has been viewing it lately and now we have milk laws, it’s crazy. I don’t trust anything the FDA says 🤝
you‘re a queen
