You put butter in the shells and then roast them. 

You can google these things, you realize.

I spent a whole day looking into this once and I found out that while many US garden-variety snails are good for eating and allowed to be eaten, snails eat things that are toxic to us, so they need to be “purged” for a few weeks and one guys talked about how he has an old clawfoot tub in which he just dumps his snails to basically go on a juice cleanse and that all his friends love coming over for escargot and I can’t stop imagining just. Having an antique bathtub full of snails in your home at all times. What a conversation piece.

I feel like my house is severely lacking in that I don’t have anything cool in it like a bathtub full of snails or a chandelier made of skulls or anything cool like that.

I did put a judgmental-looking standee of Darth Vader in my basement and call it an Accusing Parlor, so i have that, at least.
