Escargot, a classic French dish, has a rich history dating back to ancient Roman times. The practice of eating snails spread throughout Europe, and by the 19th century, it became a delicacy in France. Renowned chefs like Auguste Escoffier popularized the dish, and it became a staple in fine dining establishments. Today, the best escargot can be found in Burgundy, where the snails are renowned for their flavor. The key to a perfect escargot lies in the garlic-herb butter, which infuses the snails with a rich, savory taste. While the traditional method involves serving them in their shells, some chefs offer a modern twist by presenting them in puff pastry.
