Tbh I grew up in Maine and I would ALWAYS ask for Kraft mac n cheese when everybody else was eating lobster because it's such a pain in the butt to eat lol

Sincere question here: do the snails really add much to the experience of eating escargot? I’ve eaten it once in Montreal and couldn’t help thinking the garlic, butter, etc really carried the dish and it would have been pretty much the same without the snails.

I’m guessing just a funny translation thing. Even here in Canada, where French is (slightly) more common, I often hear the dip referred to as “au jus.”

I speak some French, and can grammatically attest to saying “with with juice” is wonky, but I’ve been reminded by a couple of equally pedantic well-trained chef friends.

But I also didn’t mean to cause a hubbub!

Call it what you will; just don’t call me late for dinner!
