I agree Mendy.
I have helped my mother and grand-mother prepare many escargots when I
was a kid.
Anybody needs the recipe?? ;-)

But no snails in Colorado, much too dry.

Butter, garlic and a dash of parsley makes everything taste good, even
snails
... I mean escargot.

A few years ago, I had some near Lyon.
I was told they came from Turkey. They were quite good, of course with
a garlic
and white wine sauce.

Hello Martin, Sterling and all

I am not a specialist but French and loving frog legs (with garlic of
course)

As far as I know, we only eat frog legs, not toad legs.
But more importantly, frogs and toads belong, for many years now, to
the
endangered species list in France, thereby, you will eat frog legs
coming from
Asia (which are much much bigger and much less tastier... quite
disgusting
actually) unless you are in one of the few areas where they are not in
danger,
like in Alsace... and a very very few more !

I would have to check, Toulouse might be one of them, but not sure

Anyway...
Enjoy your trip to Toulouse, Martin.

Michael B.

>> Dear List, Dr. Mathieu, and Martin;
>>
>> Martin, if you do or anyone does make it there, please remember your
>> friends on the list who won't have the opportunity to vacation or
visit
>> the lovely southern latuitudes of France and post us a nice picture
for
>> the admiring meteorite-list of this historical group of stones. So
>> much to do on vacation there - see this Toulouse meteorite exhibit,
>> then go to the Space Center and Space City, the Kennedy Space Center
>> analog and lots more, of France.
>>
>> Watch out if you take the low road, as nearby Toulouse was the site
of
>> a Toad-storm from an inclement thundering sky, Two shocked horsemen
had
>> to put on their overcoats while being Toad-hammered, and gallop out
of
>> their as fast as they could, to reach a stage coach also on the way
to
>> Toulouse that witnessed the event, saw many small toads still on the
>> unfortunate horsemen's cloaks and when it passed through the spot
>> trampled many thousands of toads of all sizes. (I wonder if the
>> meteorite in any way biased this report?)
>>
>> A rain of escargot snails might have been more comical for France,
but
>> maybe they were toads, frogs, whatever -- after all the toadstorm was
>> 1834 and even today frogs and toads are varied and not recognized by
>> science as distinct animals. Fried frogs are a delicious part of
>> French cuisine that is required to try for all Beefeaters attending
the
