Answer 2

French Onion Soup Recipe (French: Soupe à L'Oignon) Ingredients for 4 people: - 4 large onions (or 6 medium) - 100 grams (3½ ounces) grated cheese - 200 grams (7 ounces) butter - 1 bottle ordinary white wine - 10 ml (2 teaspoons) bouillon powder - 4 slices of white bread - 1 clove of garlic Preparation Time: 40 Minutes Cooking Time: 20 Minutes Recipe: Peel skin off onions. Slice onions into rings. Separate rings and put in frying pan. Add 100 grams of butter to frying pan. Cook onion on medium heat until glazed (i.e. onion becomes soft). Gently turn onion periodically to avoid burning. Add bottle of wine and the bouillon. Simmer for half an hour. - During this time: grate the cheese if it is not already grated, and pre-heat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius, and rub garlic into white bread and cut into 1 cm cubes, fry in remaining butter. Ladle (or spoon) the onion and wine into the bowls. Sprinkle the cheese over the top of each bowl. Put the bowls in the oven for 20 minutes. When the cheese is fully melted, it is ready to serve (some people prefer to wait until the cheese has cooked to a golden brown). Sprinkle cooked bread (known as "croutons") on the soup just before serving Side dish: baguette (the traditional French bread stick)

Answer 3

The funny thing is I am a former chef and here in Canada they have them in the regular supermarket and in small or medium sized tins.

I like mine with lots of fresh garlic, chopped onions, parsley, butter, a touch of pepper, I mix the ingredients into the soften butter, I once had the old shells to put them in, for a treat get some mushrooms, put a snail in the caps, you can save the stems, then cover with butter, put in the frig to get solid, then cook in a hot oven, 400 degrees for 15-20 minutes, a small casserole or baking dish, then have a nice crusty bread to soak up the juices.

Answer 4

Look in your local grocery store in either the canned seafood section, canned meats section, or in the Italian food/breadcrumb area (don't know why, but i occasionally see them there...). If no luck in your regular grocery store, then you can try a gourmet foods purveyor (look online or in your telephone book/yellow pages for gourmet food, retail) or in stores like Williams Sonoma or other specialty cooking stores. The ones at my local grocer come in a can with a long plastic sleeve of clean shells to cook them in. The garlic butter recipe from our Canadian Chef sounds fantastic (thanks for the recipe)! and should be easy to prepare.

Answer 5

I haven't had any luck getting snails to cook. They try but they keep dropping the pots. I guess it's that slime.
