Re: snails. I grew up in New Orleans with all the French restaurants. Whenever the family would go out for a nice dinner, I would order snails, or "escargot" as it said on the menu. They were delicious! Eating escargot is no big deal to a New Orleanian.
Re: bison. I've had it twice in my life - once at a restaurant in New Orleans as a teenager, and a few months ago I picked up two pounds of ground bison at BJ's. Both times I found it ok, but fairly bland, and not nearly as tasty as beef. I think that's why beef caught on in North America, and bison did not.
