El Bulli

May 27, 2011 El Bulli

discusses Snail Caviar with Clare, as handled at El Bulli

Just lately we’ve been debating the taste and function of snail caviar on twitter. This prompted my good chum Clare to dust off her notes from El Bulli, where she had eaten said caviar. This is an excerpt from those notes, and my thanks to her! 
SNAILS “A LA LLAUNA” : DICTAPHONE DIALOGUE

Craig: They’re soft and warm and you can pop them

Keiron: I taste rosemary

Erica. Its very subtle

Clare…oh my god, that’s good

Erica… you’re weird

Craig… they’re more like little bath salts…. they pop in your mouth if you try hard enough to squeeze them between your teeth

Darren… they’re really quite nice, the rosemary is fantastic, I don’t usually like snails… but…

I think all we can conclude is that no-one hated them, and some people really rather liked them.  Do you still fancy trying them? Let me know how you get on :0)

I’m passionate about food, its provenance and its sustainability. As a technical cook, I like to see what’s happening in the kitchens of Michelin starred restaurants, but you’re just as likely to find me at home making sourdough. You can find some of my recipes in In The Mix 2, an award-winning Thermomix cookbook.

I’m also truly blessed – I can open my fridge at any time and know it’s crammed with all manner of loveliness – but that’s not the case for everyone. There are people all around me in the UK who rely on food banks to feed their kids, and themselves, and every box of cereal or teabag makes a difference. You can donate food to your local food bank, or time, or money, and if you want more information the best starting place is http://www.trusselltrust.org.
