That reminded me of an "I Love Lucy" episode when she was over in France and ordered Escargot not knowing what it was. They brought her the snails and the clasps to pull them out with. She put the clasps on her nose and poked at the snails with the fork.

"I love Lucy", that's going back a few years!!

I thought about "Pretty Woman". Slippery little suckers!! Not sure if it was snails though.

Yep. It was snails... It's ok, the waiter caught it.

My mouth was watering with your photo, Dave.

I look so forward to the escargot on the ship. We used to be able to purchase them, live, in the states. They can still be purchased in Canada. They are delicious in a red sauce, served over linguine. My aunt in Montreal used to throw them, shell and all, into the sauce and cook them. What great flavor.

But, since they are impossible to get anymore, I will eagerly devour them on the ship. Two orders please.

All I can say about that plate of food is NO THANK YOU!

Miss A'ndrea: I've got a gross of them in my garden; what's your address? I'll ship them.

Yes, you are welcome to all of mine also.

Personally, if it slithers on the ground I don't want it. Now give me a good reindeer hotdog any day. If you go to Alaska, you have got to try one. My cousin even sends them to me from Alaska (and yes they are frozen and stay that way until they get here). This year when she came down she brought us King crab, a Copper River red salmon (which she says is the best you can get, but I don't like salmon), reindeer hotdogs and reindeer polish sausage (yeah, I know poor Rudolph). She also brought musk ox jerky and caribou jerky. Oh yeah, can't forget the moose burger as well. Okay, now I am hungry

Psycho, f-mattox and Lori, you don't know what you're missing! That's okay, though. All the more for me.

I swear, one of these days I WILL give 'em a try.

My son put me to shame on the last trip; he ordered them for the first time--then asked for seconds.

I love salmon caviar and goose liver pate; so what's my problem? Right?

Maybe I'm just crazy enough to try 'em...I headed out to the garden.

Psycho, you do know that the garden variety are quite different than the escargot presented on the cruise, right?

A'ndrea

Oh yeah, a little garlic and cheese, and they taste the same. Just like chicken.

Ok, somebody step up and post another picture.

OK, this is a pic of a growler I took near Hubbard Glacier.

Beautiful shot, psycho. Quite the camera man aficionado.

A'ndrea

Are you sure that didn't fall of an airliner? You know, the blue toilet water???

I'm fixing to put up a photo, so hang on.

Nice shot, psycho.

Y'all reckognize this one, yea? St. Thomas!

Greyson, here's another one for you.
