Escargot and the Shellfish Free Diet
Escargot refers to cooked edible snails, which are considered a delicacy in French and other Mediterranean cuisines. These snails are typically prepared by removing them from their shells, cooking them with ingredients like garlic, butter, and herbs, and then placing them back into their shells for serving. As a type of mollusk, escargot is distinct from shellfish, but it is often conflated with shellfish in dietary contexts due to its similar texture and culinary use.
