Male Speaker: Good afternoon, everyone. Today we\’re going to talk about a famous French dish, the escargot.

Female Speaker: Escargot? That sounds interesting. What is it exactly?

Male Speaker: Well, escargot is a fancy name for snails. It\’s a dish that\’s very popular in France, and it\’s frequently served in French restaurants all around the

world.

Female Speaker: Snails? I\’m not sure I\’d be brave enough to try that.

Male Speaker: Don\’t worry. The snails are cooked in a special way, so they\’re actually quite delicious. They\’re usually served with garlic butter and herbs, and they\’re served hot.

Female Speaker: That actually sounds pretty good. What do they taste like?

Male Speaker: They have a slightly chewy texture, kind of like clams or mussels. The flavor is very mild, and it\’s really the seasoning that makes them so tasty.

Female Speaker: Hmm, maybe I\’ll have to try it sometime. Is there anything else I should know about escargot?

Male Speaker: Well, you\’ll probably be served the snails in their shells, so you\’ll need a special tool called an escargot fork to remove them. And don\’t forget to soak up all the delicious garlic butter with some bread.

Female

Speaker: Sounds like a plan. Thanks for explaining it to me.

Male Speaker: No problem. Bon appétit!
