Snail mushroom gratin
Snail is a vital and robust food in France, China, and Japan. In Spain, snail is the ingredient of a dish called 'cara gores' and in France, the snail is known as the dish that the epicures enjoy. There is a mucus called 'Mushin' in the flesh of the snail that maintains hydration of the body system and gives gloss to the blood vessels and the internal organs.
