Escargots, the snails of French cuisine, are cultivated land snails. Other edible snails are the abalone of California and Japan, the periwinkle of Europe and South Africa, and the queen conch or pink conch of the West Indies.
Scientific classification: Snails belong to the class Gastropoda. The giant African snail is classified as Achatina fulica, and the cultivated land snail as Helix pomatia. Abalones are classified in the genus Haliotis and periwinkles in the genus Littorina. Conches make up the family Strombidae and the queen conch is classified as Strombus gigas.

Escargot - but you'll need more than one, so it's escargots. You can eat most European snails, but naturally the larger variety are preferable. If you collect them yourself keep them in a box with moistened oatmeal in it for about a week, so that you know they haven't eaten anything noxious before you eat them.
