If the French version is like the Greek version of the dish, I can guarantee that it's positively marvelous.

Now for Teste to butt heads with Gangut in regards to ballet.

Boeuf Bourguignon , Blanquette de veau , raclette ,salade nicoise . Try them.

And then we have what the Japanese consider 'French-inspired' dishes, like Hayashi rice and pretty much anything with demiglace sauce on it. Though, to be fair, they were actually devised by Japanese chefs who went to France in the Meiji period to learn western-style cooking.

Does the greek version use garlic-herb butter inside?
Not that I know much, it may be delicious but in my head, I'm having hard time to think myself eating a snail.

#2 and #3 are one of my favorite! Never really tried #4, and #1 depends how it's done, I like it when it's meat without any fat on them but some likes to put with.

Just because people draw you like a dog doesn't mean you have to eat like one, Yuudachi.

Teste looks good in the chef uniform.

I can't pronounce them and can't cook them up either. I'll never know how good French cuisines can be.

Commandant Tasty

Yuudachi's Kemono-Owl-like appreciation in agreement is positively marvellous.

And France has one of the world's great cuisines.

Not that it affects me as a vegetarian: most cuisines are merely different ways of cooking body parts. But credit where it is due.

Plus, of course their gourmands like Brillat-Savarin invented Fine Dining as an art.

You just need to find the right cheese qnd sausage for raclette, and potatoes.

If I remember it right, it's cooked with copious amounts of olive oil and herbs like rosemary. The ingredients are simple but the result and the broth it leaves is rich and full of flavor.

You need a special hook-like cutlery to pull the meat out of the shells.

Munmu-san did it already, sorta.

Done well, yes.

I tend to find it relies a little too much on butter and cream and salt for my tastes. Considering I avoid most of that stuff to watch my weight, it just comes across as too rich for me to enjoy many dishes. Things that aren't made entirely of cream, however, are fantastic, and you can thank the French for basically every decent Western-style soup stock, as well.

Incidentally, Northern Itallian cooking is very similar (thanks to geographical closeness and shared cooking traditions), and is also delicious. Because (depending on the chef) it's not quite as heavy on the butter, though, I personally tend to like Italian more.
