I would attempt to concoct my own snails en cocotte, but there are NO snails in Maryland! Or if there are, they must know about my culinary aspirations and stay well hidden because I have never seen one here in the 30-odd years of my residence. I understand that there are giant snails in Florida, though. I stay away from Florida. They have 'gators down there and the only good gator is a barbecued one.
