Zone 2 - that's Yurp, right? Prolly one of them snail eating Frogs - some of
them tend to think the sun rises and sets in the crack between their gluteus
maximi. Some of them are pretty nice though. Denis at Le Maryol (I think I
remembered that right) who was Ian Hoare's SysOp was one of the nice ones.

You might tell the one with the robo fantasy that s/he is welcome to come on
down and help me pound the recipes into my Meal Muncher and then export and
post them.   Bv)=

       Title: Snails with Frogs' Legs / Escargots Aux Grenouilles
  Categories: Game, Exotics, Wine, Dairy
       Yield: 4 servings
  
      48    Burgundy snails
            Court bouillon
       4    Shallots
            Chives
     3/4 c  White Macon wine
      24 lg Frog's legs
     1/2 c  Milk
            Flour
       4 tb Butter
            Salt & pepper
            Chopped parsley; garnish
  
  Cook the snails in advance in a court bouillon, then
  remove them from their shells. [There’s a description of
  court bouillon in "Joy of Cooking." Basically, a court
  bouillon is an aromatic liquid or stock, sometimes
  containing wine, vinegar or lemon juice, used mainly for
  cooking fish and shellfish, but also sometimes white offal
  (variety meats) and some white meats.]

  Chop them, together with the peeled shallots and a small
  bunch of well-washed chives. Place these ingredients in a
  saucepan with the wine, cover and simmer for 1 hour.

  Meanwhile, soak the frogs' legs in the milk for 1 hour.
  Drain them, then roll in flour and saute in the butter in
  a frying pan over a brisk heat for 10 minutes. Add the
  snails, together with their cooking juices, and season
  with salt and pepper. Turn up the heat and cook for a
  further 5 minutes.
 
  Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve.

  Looking at the ingredients, I figure that this'll feed 4
  as a main course or 8 as an appetizer.
