Think I might start a new segment on this page called - weirdest things I've ever eaten 😂.
We'll start with one that isn't THAT weird - escargot or snails 🐌🐌.
When @safaduffa and I visited Paris in 2018 she was really sick but she was a trooper and went with me for dinner every night and one night we stopped at a little place near our hotel called @cafe_quai_33.
We saw that the menu had snails and figured since we were in Paris we had to try it.
