What, historically, makes French people the way that they are?

I always keep coming back to this article, and how it says there was a big pushback against the strict sexuality of the catholic church among the elite in France. It's specifically about p*dos, but applies to all sexual violence I think. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2020/jan/10/matzneff-scandal-france-consent-literary-establishment.

Tbh escargot tastes like mushrooms when cooked in a nice herb butter sauce!

I was actually surprised I liked escargot because there's lots of stuff I'm not a fan of in the same vein like shrimp or oysters.

My mom ordered it as a joke the first night of our first cruise and then proceeded to order it with every meal after that haha. They made theirs with pernod.

what about the texture, however?

[squirrels_oh_no]

Similar texture, too. Maybe just a little chewy.
