Prehistory

The escargots were already eaten by the prehistoric men.

19th century

C'est à l'occasion d'un dîner en l'honneur du Tsar de Russie Alexandre 1er, que l’homme d’Etat français Talleyrand commande à son chef cuisinier bourguignon, Antonin Carême, une recette inédite. Celui-ci a l'idée de servir des escargots farcis au beurre, à l'ail et au persil. La recette fait mouche et s’affiche à la carte des grands restaurants à la mode.
