    We so looked foward to this wonderful dish at the Food and Wine Festival at EPCOT. We literally ran to France for our serving of three Escargots en Brioche, only to find that they were replaced with chopped shails in Pillbery pie crust! Oh, my…what a disappointment! Come on, Disney! Wake up! You went back to the rack of lamb chops because I am sure you took a ton of flack trying to switch to the little chops, which you cut so thin that they tasted boiled instead of grilled. Do the right thing and go back to the three Escargots en Brioche! This was one of the best dishes offered at the Food and Wine Festival.

      I’m confused. I was looking for a recipe for escargot en brioche. The pictures are exactly what I would love to prepare but the recipe calls for spooning escargot on top of toast. I guess finding a recipe for the little individual brioche pastries would help cook what is in the pictures.
