Washing Up
The traditional "escargot" are land snails. However, various other snails that inhabit salt water are also eaten - particularly the Periwinkle. And a large Asian market near us frequently carries live Moon Snails as well.
Anyone tried the mayo w olive oil, I've seen advertised on TV?
Son of a gun, they are land snails.
Thanks for pointing that out Drama. If I ever observe lent, I'll remember not to eat them on Friday.
Isn't it still about tuna?
So live land snails are sold at the seafood counter huh?
Kinda confuses the situation, don't you think?
I buy Whole Foods 365, generally. I use it mainly for tuna salad, for which it is indeed very tasty.
I think it's interesting that most of the 365 brand products from Whole Foods come in first in taste tests. I buy their 365 Italian Olive oil, and their red wine vinegar and I like them both very much.
STOP THE PRESSES!!
I now have a new favorite canned tuna: "StarKist 'Gourmet Choice' Solid Light Tuna Fillet in Olive Oil".
The pieces of fish are very similar to what one finds in imported canned tuna, & the olive oil was thick & lovely.
Made a pasta sauce with it last night for some spinach fettuccini that turned out to be nothing but sheer poetry (if I do say so myself - lol!!!!).
I can't wait to see what it does for more mundane tuna uses, & am thinking this will be my basic tuna of choice from now on.
