In Sicily, snails (or babbaluci as they are commonly called in sicilian dialect) are a very popular dish as well. They are usually boiled with salt first, then served with tomato sauce or bare with oil, garlic and parsley.

HELIX POMATIA
Also named “White Vinedresser”. In France it is known by the name of Gros-blanc or Escargot de Bourgogne, as it is the typical snail of that region. We can only find it in areas which are not subject to the influence of windy seas. Its acclimatization is the result of numerous morphological changes. Owing to these modifications we have a great variety of this kind of snail all over Northern and Eastern Europe. The “Helix Pomatia” which once was greatly used in breeding, nowadays has become less important because its growth takes longer. Anyway its meat is by far the most delicious.

Escargot is just French for snail, it is not a particular type of snail. Garden snails can be delicious but you need to purge them on sawdust for 24-48 hours before cooking them.
By the way, "specie" means "money". "species " meaning an organism is the same word in singular and plural - one species, two species.
