Rare SRQbeachgirl Posted March 28, 2019 #2 Share Posted March 28, 2019 (edited) We had it last July on Magic, but I don't know if shortages are still occurring. Edited March 28, 2019 by SRQbeachgirl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

schazzy Posted March 28, 2019 #8 Share Posted March 28, 2019 Well, if they have them on my cruise, someone is more than welcomed to have my share of them. 19 minutes ago, TXBBQDUDE said: Almost like a mushroom with lots of butter and garlic is the best way i can describe it. A fairly chewy, kinda earthy mushroom. I thought the sauce they were in was good, the actual snail, not so much. But hey, I tried them, so that's one thing scratched off the bucket list. The frogs legs on the other hand, I'd order those again! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare crewsweeper Posted March 28, 2019 #9 Share Posted March 28, 2019 If you order the escargot, be sure to save some bread to sop up the sauce. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
runner15km Posted March 28, 2019 #10 Share Posted March 28, 2019 Is escargot available every night ? And yes I soak my bread in the butter & garlic sauce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amyracecar Posted March 28, 2019 #12 Share Posted March 28, 2019 This comments about the sauce on this thread reminds me of a guy I was listening to on the radio who said 'For years I thought I loved snails, but it turns out I really just love garlic!' 3 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garlic + a pound of butter makes anything palatable! 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only remember it being on the "Rare Finds" part of the menu one night on both our recent cruises. I don't remember if it was elegant night or not though.

Escargot does not taste like chicken...... I just had to say that before. It is a different flavor, that is hard to describe, but very good to eat! It's more like the frog legs! 😎 Both are worth trying! Edited March 28, 2019 by jwjax 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evandbob Posted March 28, 2019 #17 Share Posted March 28, 2019 We had escargot mid week on the Conquest in February. I may have missed it on the Magic 2 weeks ago - I went to the Steakhouse the night it may have been served. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except frog legs actually DO taste very much like chicken. 🙂 I love escargot but you are right that it is very hard to describe the taste. But there is no denying that it's a great vehicle for butter and garlic sauce. Yum! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm, I'm not much for seafood (except Lobster 😂) and I hate mushrooms so I guess I shouldn't bother trying it. I have always wanted to but I'd hate to waste it.

Shaded Lady Posted March 28, 2019 #22 Share Posted March 28, 2019 Tracey.kinney you should definitely try it... if you like garlic and you like butter, you'll like them! I order them any time I can from the MDR- not so crazy about the ones in the steakhouse though- it seems they've got some sort of tomato base mixed into them that I don't care for...

xostacylee Posted March 28, 2019 #23 Share Posted March 28, 2019 Following - I remember having this as a kid when we cruised a few times. Loved the garlic & butter! Going on a 4-day cruise in September. Has anyone seen it on the 4-day menu (I'm sailing on the Liberty) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
