I must admit I'm quite partial to escargots.(Sounds better than calling them snails). My Grandmother was French and my father was brought up in Paris so, from an early age, I got quite used to "exotic" foods. As I've mentioned before, my family also lived in Haiti when I was tiny so there have been several culinary influences in my life. My mother, who was a wonderful cook, learned all sorts of Haitian/American dishes over there. I don't think I've ever eaten dog, though, and, despite my Gallic connections, I still hate cheese.
