one of my other favorites is Escargot Provencal which is a tomato-based sauce.

i had something similar recently. snails in a tomato-ey herb sauce. italian, not french though, but still great. not chewy at all.
they weren't in their shells, just a small pile with sauce in the middle of a plate with a depression in the center. the snails must have been trimmed a bit since they were served that way. when i've had them in their shells either grilled or chinese style, you realized that you're essentially eating a little slug because of the antannae and such.
 
One of the treasured ingredients within french cuisine is the humble gizzard.
I was amazed to view an American Diner that specialized in this fragrant offal:yum:
I like snails but real men eat gizzards.

I'm with you 100%! It seems no one eats plain cauliflower. It's always in a cheese sauce or some other collection of ingredients that mask the actual taste of the stuff.

I do eat it raw and plain, though I tend to like to put a little ranch on it too... Can't stand it cooked though.
 
I don't know, but I'm sure glad they did!

Artichoke and Pea Ragout! one of my favorite springtime veggie dishes! :yum:

but in this weather, my mind is on Boeuf Bourguignon. :w00t2:

I figure that the only way anyone would have tried Artichokes is by just throwing one on a fire and roasting it. I like them that way too. they must have been very hungry to try that.

You say mask, I say enhance. ;)

I too prefer it raw, even though I eat it cooked, also... with flavor enhancers :LOL:

A couple of years ago when SO was deep into low carb dishes, she clipped a recipe for me to make that included
Cauliflower, Sweet Italian Sausage, Cream Cheese, Smoked Gouda. It was delicious! I couldn't taste the cauliflower at all! I think I could grind up styrofoam cups and use it in place of the cauliflower and this combination of ingredients would taste great!

I love mine roasted with baby carrots and fresh rosemary, as well as raw, and with flavor enhancers!
