ArtistA man in a worn yellow raincoat and a dark oilskin hat is foraging in a damp forest. He is slightly bent forward, using a thin cane to part tall wet grass and ferns. A canvas bag slung over his shoulder is partly open, revealing live snails peeking out. The surrounding forest is dense with mossy tree trunks, dripping leaves, and deep green shadows. Mist rises between the trees, and soft, diffused light filters through the canopy above. The illustration is done in a detailed pencil and ink style, with fine line work and crosshatching, evoking a quiet, mysterious atmosphere.
The cargolade in Catalan cargolada, is a typical Catalan dish.
It comes in the form of brown snails (Helix aspersa) grilled in their shells, with salt, pepper, or lard and herbs. The recipe is very simple, it consists of letting the snails drool on a grill, while cooking over a wood fire. When they no longer drool, the dish is cooked.
It is mainly a matter of filling the shells with melted bacon throughout the cooking process. This dish is eaten with aioli and a local wine. Traditionally, the cargolade is eaten standing up.
