I have loved peppery conch chowder since trips to Florida in then70's. Your post led me to google conch only to find they are giant ocean snails. I have had escargot only 2-3 times. Never had straight up conch. I suspect I'll still,partake in conch chowder. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/dine.gif" alt="" />
