I'm an escargot lover and also a Yankee. The combination of those 2 things has made it hard for me to order escargot in a restaurant. I have on occasion, but $10. for 6 tiny, albeit tasty morsels has caused minor pangs in my Yankee heart. Add to that the trend in the US for more casual dining and even finding escargot on the menu now is less likely than it was 10 years ago. So, not a big deal. Life goes on...no snails for Jo Ana.
Until now. I was doing some grocery shopping on Amazon the other day and discovered the Subscribe and Save program. While checking it out I found the Roland Giant Snails and ordered a box of them, hoping for the best but not expecting the largest snails I've ever seen in my life times 2 !! I'm not a big eater, but 6 of these with a small vegetable portion is dinner for me. I bake them with organic extra virgin coconut oil heavily laced with garlic and WOW ! My first bite reminded me how much I love escargot and the rest of the bites made me very very happy that I'm an Amazon customer who happened upon the Save & Subscribe program!
If you love escargot, you will be very pleasantly surprised with the size, taste and overall yumminess of this product ! |

If you love and enjoy escargot, then I promise you that you will absolutely love this product. These puppies are BIG! Now I know that big does not always mean better, but I have to say I have never tasted better and I have eaten these things in many restaurants, in many homes and locations around the world. I come from several generations of snail lovers and we are all pretty picky!
These snails are tender, not mushy as you often find and if prepared correctly can send you into a state of gastronomic nirvana. A bit of EVOO, garlic and a touch of salt, a dash of wine and a hot oven and you have pure heaven at the table.
I cannot believe the price here on Amazon. I buy this same product at a local store and can assure you that I pay much, much more.
As one reviewer has pointed out, it is very difficult to find these in many restaurants these days. When I was a little girl, traveling with my parents all over the U.S. it was not much of a problem. Times have changed though and if you want a `snail fix,' you are quite often forced to do it yourself. Fortunately that is not difficult if you have a quality product to begin with. It this case, you do.
Whether you buy here on Amazon or buy locally, don't let these slip by you. |

These are awesome, just as indicated by others. Delicious when heated with garlic/shallot butter; very tender and GIANT. Very minor issues: (1) There were 16 in the can we opened. Since I assume sold/packed by weight and not number, would have been even larger if only 12. (2) strong sulfur smell when opening the can, but easily rinsed off and not apparent in heated snails. (3) I had assumed, apparently incorrectly, country of origin was France. Packaging (but not web site) indicates from Indonesia; I hope better than food coming from China! We will order again. |

Tried three cans, large escargots, delicious, just make up butter seasoning,a drop of wine (optional), put in baking dish and bake at 10 min in 400 degree over. Voila! Great appetizer and great price. Gave 1/2 dozen to sister as a present - she loved them, I love them. Can imagine sitting on the Champs, eating a dozen with baguettes. |

I kept them and am really glad that I did. We have already used several of them. They are very good and so easy to fix for a quick appetizer. I rate these a 4 1/2 out of 5. |

As compared to the french versions, these are tougher and not as tender. And with the size, it does take time for these to absorb in the marinade or sauces. A different way of cooking may be needed to create a tasty dish out of this.
As I prefer smaller escargots so that it can fit into the escargot plate, I chanced upon another Indonesian equivalent product, Jans Escargots. Though they are still tougher than the french versions, due to their inherent petite size, they are able to blend into the marinade or sauces quicker. I obtained this from the Chinese supermarket in San Jose, CA and is priced under $2 for close to 2 dozen pieces. |

I would definitely recommend them. |

This brand is carried in our very gourmet grocery store but in a 2 dozen size quantity. My husband and are have spent time in France and are escargot fans but can't eat more than 6 snails each. I was reluctant to freeze the remainder of an open 2 doz can - the 1 doz. size is perfect. They are delicious prepared in a simple garlic/butter/parley sauce and baked in special escargot dishes I purchased at the same time. I did not use the shells that can also be purchased for that purpose.
The order was sent promtly and I would buy this product again. |

Prepared them with a shallot-butter-garlic mixture and they were awesome.
It has been awhile since I've had Escargot, maybe because in a restaurant they are too pricey.
So purchasing them online I was able to stock up on a case and have them as a snack every now and again at a reasonable price. |

These snails are delicious, huge, and one can would make a dozen servings, a perfect size for a little happy hour appetizer. If you are planning to stuff these on a shell, make sure you get big size shells, otherwise it will not fit. |

I asked my wife to send me some, and this was the brand she bought at Publix. Having said that it took me a long time to finally try them because I didn't have an escargot pan. When I finally did try them I used them in an alfredo sauce over pasta with shrimp, the escargot were restaurant quality, and in all likelihood the same kind they use! Highly recommended, they are tender with good taste. Ordering through Amazon looks a lot cheaper too! |

They are loaded with saturated fat. But my fat derriere finds this treat to be simply magnifique. |

We just recieved these a couple hours ago and I just couldn't wait to jump in a try these little guys out! The title and previous reviews are dead on when they say HUGE! These escargot are the biggest that I have ever seen! They pack some serious flavor though. You would think that because they are so big they would loose some of their flavor and the ability to retain outside flavors but not in this case! My husband simmered them in some white wine for about 8-10 minutes on med-high heat. We then placed them in our new "HIC Whiteware Porcelain 6-1/2-Inch Footed Escargot Plate" with a butter mixture (butter, parsley, garlic). They were then topped with some provolone cheese and placed in the oven at 400 for 15 minutes. They were wonderful! The escargot pulled in so much of the butter mixture and retained that flavor so perfectly. My husband who is a very picky eater actually liked them! I will say though, I am not a big eater so after a couple bites of anything I am usually finished. If you can not eat a lot then I would suggest maybe getting some smaller escargot instead of these GIANT ones if you plan on eating for small families. We had to give atleast a good 8ish to our neighboors because we just couldn't eat another bite! So these will not be good for us to have as just the two of us but definitely when we have dinner parties! All in all, I am very pleased with our purchase and will purchase again! |

These make for a delicious appetizer that may in fact be better flavor, quality, and size than is found in most restaurants. Of course, when it comes to value this pack cannot be beat. Additionally, because these snails are canned, they last a very long time so you do not have to worry about spoilage. If you love escargot, do not hesitate to order. |

You have to slightly clean the snails before cooking but add butter and garlic powder and you have a fabulous appetizer for any occasion, even just dinner with your husband. |

The reason for the lower rating in the stars is that there is the non advertised inclusion of pepper, not enough to be hot but just enough to create a bit of a bitter taste, even with rinsing. They are much better than the smaller size `very large' cans of snails of the same brand.
At an even better level are the helix escargot if you really want to taste a higher quality.
These do not have to be stuffed into shells, I simply put them in a small oven proof bowl, after rinsing well and shaking the water off in a colander - with chives, garlic, bits, a tiny bit of garlic salt and place pats of butter on top, pop them into a 375 degree oven for 15 minutes and they are ready.
Hopefully one thing that has improved and that I did not make part of the qualification for my review was the packing, it was done very poorly and many of the cans were dented on the bottom - they were replaced, but be sure to check your whole package if you order them. |
