Maine Man's Escargot Fork is a versatile addition to flatware for serving and enjoying escargot. This small, double-pronged fork with pointed tips is sized perfectly for extracting escargot from their tiny shell with little effort and holding them securely. Snails have been on the menu since nearly the beginning of time and rose quickly to an elite status with the Romans. Escargot is traditionally cooked and served in a rich buttery garlic sauce and plated on an escargot dish or snail trays with recessed areas to cradle the snails and their delectable sauces. Snail tongs are often used to help steady the escargot shells while digging out the meat.
