The taste isn't too bad. I recall more garlic than anything else. It is the texture that turns me off.
-
it is awesome to eat i don't like that much with garlic but with an great au ju suace it really is worth the money
-
What I have had was so saturated in garlic I would say the snail had a flava.

while vacationing in france in 1981, i had my first encounter with it..it had a rubbery, chewy texture..the garlic, butter and parley was fine..just the sight of "snails" *ugh*..being a good sport, i closed my eyes and devoured them, at same time drinking massive amounts of water-lol!
-
The taste is not strong enough to overcome the butter or garlic that they are cooked with.
-
They're absolutely scrummy!
-
They remind me of butter garlic mushrooms, quite good.
-
I ate it on a cruise ship, and apparently it is a lot different from what most people who have answered this question had. It didn't taste garlicy or buttery to me at all. More like a noodle.
-
I agree with Antogone Rising. the garlic is the taste I most remember. I think the texture was not unlike prawns.
-
to be honest they taste exactly like whelks(a type of shellfish)
-
i did not notice the taste as much as the texture. It was very rubbery to me.
-
I couldnt get past the smell.
-
Garlicky but the texture is like swallowing someone elses spit
-
I found it tasted like a garlicy piece of rubber.
-
I really like it for some strange reason - and it's true, it tastes like garlic and butter! Lots of foods (oysters, okra) have odd textures bu

I have never had them alone, with no sauce, and I don't know if they are ever served without sauce, and all I ever taste when I eat them is the sauce they are in, which is usually garlicy and buttery. (Erm . . . that was one long, run-on sentence.) The texture is similar to the texture of octopus, but not as chewy. I find that they are very good, and one of my favorite foods.
-
I never had them without sauce either, but had them with less sauce and breded, the taste is similar to muscle on garlic and white wine sauce, the sauce may vary in taste depending on the recipe, some use butter, others oil, some use wine etc...
-
I had snails whilst in Crete (much cheaper than in France) they were dee'lish but the main taste was the garlic.
-
Kinda like rubbery shrimp.
-
Unique - yes squishy, but not like calamari. Flavor almost musky, not fishy. Yummy.
-
I only tried it once - and found it to be rubbery too....yuck
-
Tastes a bit like clams but not so fishy and then there is all the garlic and butter and parsley or tarragon giving it a rich anise flavor. Yummy! I love to dip my bread in the sauce...that's the best part. I've ordered them just to get that juicey sauce! If they are very rubbery, they were cooked a tad too much. They should be just chewy.
-
I never had it, I would like to know myself.
-
Bit like a snail, but more French.
-
Butter and garlic. The taste is excellent. The escargot itself slightly rubbery. I dont think the escargot has a specific taste of its own. Its like mushrooms no flavor of its own to speak of but absorbs the flavor of what its cooked in.
-
garlicky

garlicky
