I never thought of eating them I figured it was a weird French thing and sounded gross. I am fairly adventurous when it comes to food but never thought of snails as appealing. When my family went on a cruise a couple years back though they had them pretty much as you are describing as an appetizer at dinner. Since they were included we figured it was worth trying. I was surprised I ended up having 4 servings I believe and my wife got 3, my mom enjoyed them and got seconds. My son wouldn't touch them and my Dad ate one and was not impressed. I was surprised they were actually pretty good, I haven't gone seeking them out but if they show up where I am eating I wont turn it down. Definitely something worth trying at least once, especially since they are not what you think they will be.
