My Lion King Forum

Somewhere between Simba's famous "slimy yet satisfying" and pondering the variations of world cuisine, I ask the diverse community of MLK...

What are your feelings on escargot?

If Simba can slurp them live, how bad can they be?

Nah seriously, I would try them if I ever got an opportunity to. Since I probably won't get too many chances at eating escargot in my life, I wouldn't want to miss out.

As all the votes currently point to:

I will try them, but it really depends on the situation. Much like Simba (see, Noah?) I will only eat them if there is nothing better available and I am starving. But if there is more appetizing stuff around, I will let them go.

Well, I think the votes are as much a case of "I'd be polite if I have to be" as it is people conjuring images of Survivor Man, but

I never thought about adding an "In extreme situations when survival makes it necessary" option, though. I wonder if I can edit that.



EDIT: Yes! Yes it will! New option on the poll

No. xD I wouldn't.

I would if it was between life and death.

I've had Escargot when I went to France with my school. Seriously, it was by far one of the nicest things I have ever tasted in the whole world. I wish I could have more.
You had to pull the snail out of the shell and eat it and it tasted so good, I had a few of them because other classmates didn't want to eat them xD. There should be an option for 'Been there, done that, bought the t-shirt' or, you know 'I've had it'

There's "I have and there's nothing wrong with it" but I do so wish I had thought of your "Been there, done that, bought the t-shirt" line! It's perfect

Cool. See, I KNEW there'd be someone who had tried it, its part of the fun travelling seeing what you can (force) yourself to try knowing it's your one-chance opportunity to experience it



....I don't know if I'd be able to get over it enough to gavone, but I'd try one.

Lol, was that there the whole time? I totally blanked it xD;

Well, I'll be having it again when I go back to France on the school trip as a senior [hopefully I'll be able to x]!] although it's something I didn't think I would like, the experience was great and it wasn't that bad at all. But I think the first one I ate was the best.~ You should try some if you get the chance of course, never know what you'll think of it. I hope you like them anyway x3

I might try it if the situation rose but otherwise probably not.
