Roman snails, also called edible snails

Snail season. From garden to table?

Depending on where you live, you may know these snails as Roman, Burgundy or edible snails. Yes, that last name acknowledges that these garden dwellers are often prepared as a food item, usually called ‘escargot’ – the French word for ‘snail’. In late spring and early summer, the adult snails will lay eggs and cover them up, leaving the young to hatch and survive on their own. Given that the adult snail in our photo is 1.5 inches tall, it puts the juvenile snail’s size into perspective.
