Burgundian Escargots With Spaghetti

    Cuisine:

    I made this quite a while ago, but never forgot about it because it was so tasty.
    I bet even people who don't like anchovies or escargots would enjoy this (if you don't tell them what is in it *wink wink*).
    I will have to make it again soon.

    Burgundian Escargots With Spaghetti, A French recipe I had to re-invent to get the taste I wanted Do try this, there must be escargot lovers on Zaar!! Keep in mind that Dr Peter D’Adamo in his Eat Right for Your (blood) Type recommends escargots/snails for ALL blood types!!! So it must be good for us! With a salad of mixed greens and herbs, this is a main meal , I made this quite a while ago, but never forgot about it because it was so tasty I bet even people who don’t like anchovies or escargots would enjoy this (if you don’t tell them what is in it *wink wink*) I will have to make it again soon
