cargolade

Catalan snail feast

Caracoles a la Llauna dels Trulls Lleida Helix aspersa, determined 04 June 2011 by Francisco Welter-Schultes

In Roussillon they like to make a cargolade—a lot of snails (cargols in Catalan) cooked on a grill, or in a llauna (tin pan) in an oven, with salt and pepper, or lard and herbs, and served with aïoli or vinaigrette.

In late July, Bompas holds a massive cargolade feast.
