Germany, lovely place, go there on a vacation sometime...) that are used for Schnecken. That is, snails. Unlike the French, who remove the little buggers from their shells, saute' them, then have to cram them back in, the Badenzers pull them out, saute' them or (even better!) bake them with garlic butter, and serve them with toast in these little pans, one per slot. If you are seeing the pans as having raised bumps, maybe they're upside down. Make that: "serve them in these little pans, one per slot. They also serve toast with them." They can't get the toast in the little cups, I'm sure, since I always had to tear the toast to soak up the garlic butter. Ahh, Germany. The only country in the world where "to eat like an animal" has its own verb. -- Charlie Martin (...mcnc!duke!crm)
