So I've been MIA for reasons I can't even explain. Anyway, I'm back but I'm not sure if I would be better... Forgive me in advance. I sincerely hope that I share my recipes as often as I cook because Tbh I'm a very lazy person when it comes to typing 🙈🙈. Please pray for me to be a better person.

Okay ok... Enough story.
You know why I'm sharing this peppered snail recipe? I'm sure you're thinking what's so special about this.... Well... The special thing is that this snail was prepared without a single pinch of bouillon cube i.e no MSG! And the taste was purely awesome! I hope you try it out and lemme know how it goes 😉😉
