Little Gray Farms
United States of America
Why snails?rnFor hundreds of thousands of years snails have been a tasty source of protein. Early Romans began raising snails in elaborate escargotiere gorging them on milk and grain to fatten them. In the 18th century escargots came to symbolize a cultural elite. This portrayal however is inaccurate as the role of escargots (which simply means snails in French) is truly a food of the common people as they were a seasonal delicacy that was gathered from the wild by the peasantry. The goal of little gray farms is to once again democratize snails as a food for everyone to enjoy by raising them locally and in tune with nature s rhythm and to incorporate them into the mainstream diet in dishes that are visually appealing and a culinary delight.
