Join the funky people of Paris Urban Adventures in this completely pointless activity. But hey, since when do you need a serious reason to go out have fun ?

Blog of the Week: Paris Urban Adventures

Not really a blog but a website with an ever changing content of Urban Adventures in Paris you can participate in.
Like the last 2 before summer break.
June 27 : Ladies Naughty Paris Walk (for ladies only). If you always wanted to know what's behind the façades of Pigalle but are to shy to find out by yourself. Then this is the opportunity to discover and rate. The findings of this test group will be published.
Should the results be disappointing then it's good to know that there's always Dollhouse in the Marais catering to the needs of women or by good old mailorder from the clean and political correct Good Vibrations

June 28: The Adventure of Arts and Letters. A sort treasure hunt in the world of French Culture with a big C. Test your culture and have fun.

Unusual Food: Snail Caviar

In France snails are quiet common staple and dish served in restaurants. They're not as bad as it sounds, provided they are Fresh and not the canned version (but isn't that the same rule for every thing?). When you're new to snails or want to make sure you get the real thing go to L'Escargot 38 rue Montorgueil Paris 1e. Metro Sentier.

Eating the eggs of snails could be the next culinary frontier for some. In the 1980ties they started to produce the caviar from the snails' eggs. Just preserved in brine they were pretty tasteless and uninteresting. Now the pearly white and rather big eggs from the Helix Aspersa Maxima get a more delicate treatment with fleur de sel de Guérande, rosemary oil and citric acid. They come out tasting like a walk in the forest after the rain with a hint of mushroom and oak leaves and a pleasant crush (is that the shell?)
A real delicacy with a price to match: around 1500€ per kilo.
1 snail produces about 100 eggs that's 4g per year. And they are not killed to get the eggs unlike the real caviar.
