What kind of snail do the french eat?

The French commonly eat land snails known as "escargot," particularly the species Helix pomatia, also called the Roman snail or Burgundy snail. Escargot is typically prepared with garlic, parsley, and butter, and is often served as an appetizer. Other species like Helix aspersa (the common garden snail) are also used in French cuisine. This delicacy is celebrated for its unique flavor and texture.
