I reviewed this Escargots a La Bourguignonne wanting it lower in cholesterol adding more veggies for better health.Olive oil is high in monounsaturated fats and antioxidants. Don't get me wrong these are still fattening but delish and healthier then all butter. I bought the Canned French escargots with empty shells for serving, in a speciality store. If using mushroom caps you can pre-cook a couple minutes for softer mushrooms or if you like them raw to firm stuff then cook. A May celebration "Aplec del Caragol" (the Snail Festival) The Aplec festival is now well-known throughout Spain and the rest of Europe, and has even been sistered with other festivals.
