Product Information

Escargot, French pronunciation: [ɛskaʁɡo] ⓘ, comes from the French word for snail. One of the first recorded uses of the French word escargot, meaning dates from 1892. The French word (1549) derives from escaragol ( Provençal) and thence escargol ( Old French), and is ultimately – via Vulgar Latin coculium and Classical Latin conchylium – from the Ancient Greek konchylion (κογχύλιον), which meant "edible shellfish, oyster". The Online Etymological Dictionary writes, "The form of the word in Provençal and French seem to have been influenced by words related to the scarab."

Heliciculture occurs mainly in Spain, France, and Italy, which are also the countries with the greatest culinary tradition of the snail. [3] Although throughout history the snail has had little value in the kitchen because it is considered "poverty food", in recent times it can be classified as a delicacy thanks to the appreciation given to it by haute cuisine chefs.

Pastry forks are usually quite small and are intended to be held in the right hand while the left hand is used to hold the plate. This is why the edge of the fork is sharp and functions as a knife so that you won’t need two hands for holding two utensils. Chip Fork Cano, Julio César (2004). "Los caracoles.
