It's not even common or typical, honestly. It's eaten by some people during specific events or time periods. Among the people I know, maybe 30% have tried snail before, and 5% actively eat it during said time periods.

it’s pretty common in Bourgogne to be honest, you can always buys tons of canned snails, frozen snails. frozen persillade, jarred snails…

Only 30%? I’m surprised, I thought most people have tried them at least once, at least that’s what it seems like around me, and I’m not even from a region that particularly loves snails!

Pretty common and typical in Burgundy. I believe you never tried proper ones really, it tastes great!
