CAFÉ ESCARGOT REPORT

Pictures  below. Simply click on them to enlarge.

On Thursday 27th November thirty-seven Probians and guests descended on this specialty cafe. They enjoyed either pumpkin or vegetable soup followed by tapis for lunch (meat balls, herbed potatoes, rice type balls, salads etc.) and then had the option of paying for a varied selection of delicious desserts.

Those who were game tried a snack of six snails ("escargot") served in either garlic butter or a selection of herbs. They were presented in a special dish with six snail size “egg cup” depressions arranged in a circle.

I must say snails made a nice change from fast food! 

As well as farming snails Cafe Escargot also makes and sells magnetic jewellery (which some believe will ease aches and pains if warn close to the body). 

Inspecting the actual snail farm was most enlightening, and when it came to guessing the correct age of the gum tree Geoff H was correct with fifty years. Elaine correctly guessed the age of the stag fern (110 years). 

It was a beautiful day weather-wise; making the trip there and back all the more enjoyable.

Thanks Elaine for arranging a wonderful and unique outing for us!
