I still have a fondness for escargot in garlic butter. When I was a kid we would hunt for snails on the island of Crete where my mother was from.
Some of my most cherish memories are of eating them with my distant cousins, along with greens we picked in the mountains.
After our meal we would climb up to a deep well for a cold drink. It was hot enough to melt rubber shoe soles mid-day in the sunshine on the beach.
We would all nap on the cold marble floors in the main house with full bellies. Love me some escargot...
