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....
