"Helix pomatia, common names the Roman snail, Burgundy snail, edible snail or escargot, is a species of large, edible, air-breathing land snail, a pulmonate gastropod terrestrial mollusc in the family Helicidae. It is a European species. In the English language it is called by the French name escargot when used in cooking (escargot simply means ´snail´). Although this species is highly prized as a food, it is difficult to cultivate and rarely farmed commercially." - (en.wikipedia.org 07.03.2020)
