Not these escargot.

I tried this type before, but didn't rinse.  I ended with, it seemed, as much sand as meat.  I was unsure whether to try this kind again.  I had some so I did.  This time I rinsed the snails extremely well, several times.  Then fried shortly in butter and onions, adding sour cream to cool quickly plus add fat.  Far from cold, but no longer cooking, I ate.

No.  Too... gamey.  If you have ever eaten good and bad... gamey... frog legs you understand.  Gamey, for swamp critters, means swampy tasting.  The mire, decay, vegetal nature is what one is left with.  The texture was so-so.  I have other types I will try.  I have eaten wonderful escargot.  I am positive it couldn't have been fresh.  I truly desire the experience, so will keep trying.

The sauce was delectable.  I might like fresh garlic rather than powdered.  I might add lemon.  Or not.  Nice options if available.  Oh, just a rare holiday treat, so price... to a degree... isn't a major issue.  A bit disappointed.  I'll try again with one of the better brands.

Blood sugar, after eggs and chops, and a fatted tea dropped to 130.  It surprised me.  I took the read at what is usually the high after meal read, two hours after.  With nothing else save corn, because of the escargot debacle of '18, I am having another fatted tea, this time with MTC oil.  I need to remember that from now on.  Even twice a day, with or without the full ketonic load.  It really adds solid good extra fat.  Which really is working.  I'll take another read at 18:00 and 22-23:00 if still awake.

Later.

Forgot to post.  The last blood sugar was 129, after more.  I tried two other cans of escargot.  What seemed best was one in which the snails were not precooked.  It still wasn't fantastic, only tolerable.  Perhaps more exacting effort or different or slightly different recipe.  Just baked in butter, perhaps garlic, with fresh lemon might work best.  Everybody needs an occasional luxury... and challenge in obtaining it?  I think so.

The problem is that I am still hungry.  Perhaps a glass of milk and sardines.  Not perfect, or terribly filling, but... doable and keto right.

Good night.  Probably.
