This is very cool. I hope farmers in France can learn from him. No telling what the climate change will do to the snail population.

His slow and steady perseverance eventually helped him win the breeding race

I THINK THE BACKGROUND MUSIC IS TOO LOW, CAN YOU TURN IT UP A BIT LOUDER?

He's a man of focus, commitment, and sheer will Slow and sure wins the snail race! :)

I tried it, tastes like linguine pasta with the texture of an oyster

There are people very successfully farming Helix Pomata in Europe. As child my grandmother once in a while send me out to forage a bucket full. She fed them a few days on milk. Afterwards they found their doom in a delicious soup or brazed in their shells with garlic butter. Nowadays it is forbidden to forage them in our area. We children played with the snails setting them on top of a wooden fence in one large line or using them for snail races. There were lots of them in our garden.

As a French guy, this man is awesome. I’m grateful for his efforts in favor of quality snails

Go relentlessly in pursuit of your dreams and nothing is impossible.. I repeat nothing is impossible ! Whatever you do sky is the limit for a relentless mind.

I remember eating one from Safeway in the late 80's or early 90's. They had it in deli section. They don't sell that there anymore.

Of all things to build international relations, I did not expect it to be snails

Escargot barbeque is delicious, indeed.

I haven't tried land snail before but water snail i did. If you're not a big fan of cartilage from any animal like pig and cow. It won't be your taste due to the fact that it is rubbery like kind of textures. For thr land snail... I had no idea what kind of textures it would be.

I have to imagine his product will be more consistent than the wild harvested snails.

it took him seven years to get authorized before he started alkshshs

I wonder how he transports snail samples to France. Are they carry-on luggage? Or are they treated escargot?

It is up to French customers to decided whether Takeshi's carefully nurtured snails as delicious as those from the wild. 😑

I'm sure those snail would be more delicious freshly made than frozen storebought. I tried once which is those storebought it wasnt great safe to say xD

Well, Dang----Now we need a follow up to see if the French would prefer these over their home grown ones in a blind taste test. Seriously though? A blind taste test over two variety of snails. :D Which is the better tasting snail? I have had them a few times and each time it just tasted like whatever it was bathing in.

BGM too loud..

Music too loud...
