I swear I ...I'm from Rhode Island, but Newport. I swear I never heard about "Snail Salad" until I read about it on the net. I go to Tweets for the Linguini with Clams. When I was a kid I used to see families from Fall River (Canooks) collecting periwinkles from the rocks and my father told me they would be eating them. Later on when I studied in Paris, my French friends served me "Pétoncles" as a treat. I did not know what they were. It wasn't in the dictionary. Sure enough they were periwinkles. Had to dig them out with a pin. I was not happy. Tried to throw them away. I'll have to see if Emeril has a recipe. I'd eat anything he served :-)Eileenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15235756819548056696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2794773196727660659.post-82076256225815620872009-09-15T20:52:40.298-04:002009-09-15T20:52:40.298-04:00Hi Lisa,

I did find it at Aunt Suzie's Italian restaurant in Brooklyn, but it does not compare to any of the RI restaurants or even the supermarkets.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2794773196727660659.post-45967233985703541242008-07-16T16:15:00.000-04:002008-07-16T16:15:00.000-04:00I now live in Virginia.

Last month my husband and I were in Rhode Island and I insisted we go to Tweet's and I'm happy to say it was great as I remember it being 20 years ago. And I was in snail salad heaven. We also ate very very well on the Hill. Some things, thank goodness, just don't change.sfw4514https://www.blogger.com/profile/13010277745483288782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2794773196727660659.post-1809532466332109732008-07-16T15:40:00.000-04:002008-07-16T15:40:00.000-04:00Suzanne I've been to both places!
