How to eat escargot by Uncle Tom

So my happy readers, your Uncle Tom's travels took both him and Sugarduck to Paris for Christmas. While there, I was able to try escargot in its original form/home, it's shell. Sugarduck being the highly supportive spouse that she is, shot the video. I would like to dedicate this post to Canowine, we used to try so many different foods and I really miss that. Anyways, a few years back, we had our office Christmas party at Normandie Farm in Potomoc MD and for lunch, we both tried some the escargot. It was served already out of the shell in a butter and garlic sauce and they were really good. This time, however I had to use a pair of pliers and fork to get at the meat. See for yourselves below....

Uncle Tom has reached the Old World

Hello my faithful readers. Yes Yes, I know that it's been awhile since you've heard from your Uncle Tom, but I've just recently been granted access to the information super highway. I did want to share with you the above picture taken in the Yorkshire Dales in Northern England. My beloved wife Sugarduck took me up there to celebrate the day of my birth. We visited the town where "All Creatures Great and Small" was filmed for BBC in the 70's. The books were gifts from her for previous holidays and I must say that I have enjoyed reading them. The Dales themselves were gorgeous and I will have to share more pics when I have the time. We are planning a trip to Brussels this weekend so more adventures have begun for us. Know that your Uncle Tom misses all of you and I hope that you like the pictures.


Cheers!

Uncle Tom
