National Escargot Day® 2024
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania - National Escargot Day Celebrations Are Coming To Philadelphia! Marking the end of the annual harvest period, May 24, 2024 promises to be our biggest event yet! Look for inspired dishes to hit menus around the city on May 20.
The sustainably conducted month-long search for the true Wild Burgundy Snail, across vast tracts of European wilderness, culminates in a feast. A tribute to the world's most versatile protein, National Escargot Day menus present the Helix Pomatia Linne in all its glory. Diners this year will experience multi-course tasting menus, à la carte options, and even the occasional dessert, honoring the "Kobe Beef of Snails".
100% Organic, 100% Natural, the finest of the 116 edible varieties of snail and the only variety that can be truly called "Burgundy Snail", the Helix Pomatia Linne is also nutritionally unbeatable: see http://www.potironne.com/escargot/.
As seen in Bon Appetit (March, 2005), Saveur (October, 2005), Santé (May, 2006), the Wall Street Journal (January, 2007), Philadelphia Inquirer (May, 2007), Philadelphia Magazine (August, 2009) says, "These snails are a revelation to those who don't like escargots", a great picture in GQ (January, 2010), Tasting Table National (March 11, 2014), 5280 Magazine (August, 2014), and:
