Frogs have been eating snails for a long long time.
They call it “escargot” to make it sound high toned.
Still snails though.
They probably started cooking them after noticing people getting various debilitating parasites from eating them raw.
I was revolted by the very look of escargot, served as it was at that time and place with the remains of the eye stalks visible — but was assured that, put it on the fork, close my eyes, pop it in. Taste sensation.
