What is "escargot"?

Escargot is a French dish that is traditionally made by cooking snails in garlic butter and herbs, often served as an appetizer. The snails are typically removed from their shells, cleaned, and then prepared with a variety of ingredients such as garlic, shallots, parsley, and butter. The dish may also include other seasonings such as white wine, lemon juice, and black pepper, which give it a bold and savory flavor. The snails are often served in a special dish called an escargot plate, which has small grooves that hold the snails in place, and are typically accompanied by a crusty baguette or other bread.
