Sounds like a good way to spend over $100 on a plate of fried snot.
Pretty sure I can make that at home.
Wut?
Where are people paying $100 for an order of escargot?
They're more like $9-12ish. Something like that. Typically come with a half dozen or so baked in a ceramic dish that's custom made to cook them in, topped with garlic butter. Either 6 or 8 fit in the 6 or 8 little escargot sized indents in the dish.
And they aren't a snot-like consistency at all. More like eating muscles or clams sort of. Taste pretty good. Even my 8yo nephew likes eating them when they're on a menu and he's allowed to order an appetizer - sometimes he'll just order a double order of escargot and have that as his entire meal.

It’s mostly storage for tools, sporting goods, decorations, food, and a motorcycle.. but there’s also a car in it right now, too, so could qualify as a car hole.

I have heard the term "car port", but never "car hole".
It’s a quote from a Simpsons episode where Moe the bartender says it.

Americans should be more willing to eat food that fights back!
Such cuisine ...uses up calories in comparable amounts to what you get from it...ergo...you loose weight!

Once upon a time we did that with spears and clubs. We didn't eat much without it unless we went vegan.

But the food stopped fighting once we killed it. We usually didnt usually stuff raw living animals into our faces.

Not as a rule, maybe as pissing contests to see who in the tribe is more cold-blooded, but yeah this is premodern behavior. At least with extreme sports people are perfecting a craft, with this there's no such gain.
Yeah, there are some weird foods considered "delicacies," around the world that don't make any sense at all.. especially if they don't taste good, don't have any real nutritional value, and even worse if they come from endangered species. Just makes no sense at all some of the things people eat "because it's tradition that it's a delicacy therefor I'm supposed to be delighted to consume it." Bizarre. I mean, I'll try things.. but some things just make no sense for anyone to eat at all. Like wtf? Some guy tasted something 500 years ago, it was f*****g gross, and he convinced everyone around him to scale a mountain and collect some for themselves to try as some masterminded prank and now descendants of those gullible people scale mountains to put some bitter nasty crap in their mouths.
