So what exactly is... "escargot"?

[She totally pronounced that wrong.

Also she feels nauseated, oops.]

Snails.

[missmimmi]

[................................]

What?

[agisquodadis.livejournal.com]

It's snails. [U deaf?]

[missmimmi]

[Oh no, she heard.

She's just horrified.]

I... I think I will just.

Not eat anything else for a while.

[STOMACH. CHURNING.]

[agisquodadis.livejournal.com]

Not sitting right?

[Pause.]

They weren't raw, were they?

[missmimmi]

I... Maybe? I have never... had... snail.

[So much D8]

[agisquodadis.livejournal.com]

Hm.

Well, might be best to chuck it up.

[knowsyourmind.livejournal.com]

Escargot is, typically, snails prepared in garlic butter.

[He totally pronounced it all fancy-French like.]

[missmimmi]

...Chuck it up?

[THAT MAKES NO SENSE. AND WHAT IS A CHUCK.]

[missmimmi]

Oh mein Gott.

[Someone sure sounds miserable.]

[knowsyourmind.livejournal.com]

They're a delicacy, actually.

... Perfectly safe to eat. I wouldn't panic.

[missmimmi]

They certainly are not kosher.

[knowsyourmind.livejournal.com]

Kosher?

[No, he knows what that means. Just humor him, he's putting puzzle pieces together.]

[idkmybffcyclops]

Nothin' you wanna eat.

[Trust him on that.]

[fallintheriver.livejournal.com]

[Oh, snails? Ezra knows a thing or two about snails.]

Pick small ones. That way you can eat the shell too, and it tastes way better.

[gift-of-earth.livejournal.com]

I've never heard of such a thing.

[missmimmi]

[Oh gosh thinking about food while her stomach does somersaults.]

It is. Dietary laws. According to the, ah, Torah.

[missmimmi]

I already did.

[missmimmi]

[.............

brb throwing up now, sorry Ezra.]

[missmimmi]

Snails. I ate snails.

[gift-of-earth.livejournal.com]

How did they taste?

[missmimmi]

Like garlic.

[gift-of-earth.livejournal.com]

That sounds delicious.

[idkmybffcyclops]

[Mimmi you're not allowed to kiss him.]

Not sure there's much I can do then.

[He sounds grave, but he's just teasing.]

[agisquodadis.livejournal.com]

Honking. Call Ralph. Upchuck. Vomit.

[knowsyourmind.livejournal.com]

Ah. Yes, I see.

Were you truly not aware of what it was you were eating?

/threadjacking like a BAS!!

[bondedgryphon]

[Sorry Mimmi, but Zhaneel isn't quite grasping that you're grossed out here. Instead, she's jumping on the bandwagon with Ezra, her voice upbeat and eager.]

I have not had snails in some time, but Ezra is most correct. I would stick with the smaller ones until you are used to the shells. Not everyone cares muchly for them, but they tend to help with digestion as well as grit. The snails themselves are perfectly delightful!

[likesfootnotes]

Quite the delicacy, as you have already been informed! I would liken them to small imps: Slick little things that like to wriggle all the way down.

[Delicious, don't you think? Bartimaeus may have embellished that wriggling part, but it's all for your own good, Mimmi!]

[missmimmi]

...Oh.

[Yeah that's on the horizon]

[missmimmi]

No.

[They didn't have shells, damn it.]

[missmimmi]

I am never going to eat again.

sdgsjdgskg

[missmimmi]

That is disgusting.

[hgsdhshdfhdf]

[missmimmi]

Why would you think that?

Re: [audio]

[missmimmi]

[.........

brb back to puking.]

[knowsyourmind.livejournal.com]

Is it possible, then, that such a transgression could simply be overlooked?

Pardon me, I'm not as familiar with Jewish custom as I'd like to be.

[missmimmi]

[Mimmi is slightly less upset about the kosher thing and more upset over...]

I ate snails. There is nothing to overlook!

[She may be overacting, but damn does her stomach agree.]

[agisquodadis.livejournal.com]

I'd suggest finding out what it is next time, before you eat it.

[knowsyourmind.livejournal.com]

As... do the French. Frequently, in fact. There's nothing wrong with it.
