does NOT taste like chicken

Jenny and I went to Parkville, Missouri, today for a lunch date. We had a gift certificate to a French restaurant there, and our friend Chanel watched Nate and Liam for us so we could go. We had $75 to spend, so we ordered whatever we wanted. We don't usually do that (or ever do that) so it was fun. We figured we might as well try escargot so we could say we have at least tried it. It wasn't so bad, but I think one time is good enough for me. We had a great soup (carrot and potato); Jenny had quiche and I had a crab pastry. Chased it down with apple tart, creme brule, and chocolate mousse. Total bill, with tip, $72.14. That's definately the most expensive free lunch I've ever had.

sounds like a fun date.

Next time you'll need to try fois gras- duck liver. It is actually really good, tastes like a really buttery tender steak!

If the escargot did not taste like chicken, what DID it taste like? Does it have an odd texture (maybe like liver?)when cooked? I have tried frog legs and they did taste like chicken. Have also tried rabbit and that tasted like chicken too. Haven't tried python yet!
