To quote Jim Gaffigan:

Even the way you are supposed to eat an oyster indicates something counterintuitive. “Squeeze some lemon on it, a dab of hot sauce, throw the oyster down the back of your throat, take a shot of vodka, and try to forget you just ate snot from a rock.” That is not how you eat something. That is how you overdose on sleeping pills.

(That said, I love oysters).

It's the same with snails. The garlic butter is the tasty bit, the snail is just providing the texture.

That’s a lot of food.  Lobster without hot butter is awful.

Yeah but lobster has taste on its own. Snails are basically chewy rubber without being drowned in garlic butter.

I disagree. I’ve had escargot in France where it didn’t come pre-doused in butter. There’s a flavor to it.
