French Themed Friendsgiving, What Should I Cook?

[Josh_Grossman]

Escargot

I do own a pond that is full of large, supposedly edible, snails. At least that is what I was told by a friend from Vietnam.

That’s actually great. An old coworker of mine would catch snails in his garden and then feed them oatmeal to clean them out before cooking them.

I think this settles it. I’m going to do a play on takoyaki with snails and choux pastry. Maybe a few with miatake mushrooms and caramelized onions for vegetarians. Good call.

That sounds delicious! I’ve never had takoyaki, but I’ve had escargot in what I think was little puff pasties, and WOW! Please post photos and reactions after you’ve made and served them.

Now I just need to figure out how to make that sound as fancy as possible in French, (and so people don’t know what they are eating).

I might do braised or roasted mixed root vegetables spiced with a Moroccan flavor.

Cloves, cinnamon, ginger, cumin, paprika???

Wouldn’t that be Moroccan then? I suppose France did colonize all kind of places. I do like a good banh mi.

Call it Algerian, no one will notice.
