Snail Caviar

image
De Jaeger is one of the few companies in the world that sell snail caviar. And the stuff ain't cheap. It goes for around $300 a jar. Some of the terms the company uses to describe the taste include:

undergrowth, angelica, horseradish, fresh dew, the sensation of a walk in the forest after the rain, mushrooms and oak leaves, the scent of humid moss peat, a journey through autumn aromas.

Sorry. Doesn't tempt me.

Oh come on Alex! Don't egg us on with stories like this!

Really though "the sensation of a walk in the forest after the rain". WTF? Is this an ad for cavier or a feminine hygiene commercial?

MM - obviously not a feminine hygiene commercial; they don't mention whether or not it's "fresh".

KW - I cited the wrong part for the fresh comment.

'fresh dew'
