Title: Snails w/Frogs' Legs (Escargots Aux Grenouilles)
Categories: Game, Exotics, Wine, Dairy
Yield: 4 Servings

48 Burgundy snails
Court bouillon
4 Shallots
Chives
3/4 c White Macon wine
24 lg Frog's legs
1/2 c Milk
Flour
4 tb Butter
Salt & pepper
Chopped parsley; garnish

Cook the snails in advance in a court bouillon, then
remove them from their shells. [There's a description
of court bouillon in "Joy of Cooking." Basically, a
court bouillon is an aromatic liquid or stock, often
containing wine, vinegar or lemon juice, used mainly
for cooking fish and shellfish, but also sometimes
white offal (variety meats) and some white meats.]

Chop them, together with the peeled shallots and a
small bunch of well-washed chives. Place these
ingredients in a saucepan with the wine, cover and
simmer for 1 hour.

Meanwhile, soak the frogs' legs in the milk for 1
hour. Drain them, then roll in flour and saute in
the butter in a frying pan over a brisk heat for 10
minutes. Add the snails, together with their cooking
juices, and season with salt & pepper. Turn up the
heat and cook for a further 5 minutes.

Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve.

Looking at the ingredients, I figure that this'll
feed 4 as a main course or 8 as an appetizer. - UDD
