I agree that it is probably a troll- but from the scientific article
in the Medical Journal of Australia
http://www.mja.com.au/public/issues/...n10389_fm.html
it appears that the slugs that lad ate were infected & that cooking
them would probably have killed the disease. [much like the many
diseases that can be contracted by clams, oysters & scallops- but that
are eliminated by cooking.]

The US National Park Service mentions the edibility of slugs on this
page;
http://www.nps.gov/alcatraz/nature3.html

There is a recipe for Slug Fritters at
http://pub154.ezboard.com/fbuffratsf...picID=62.topic

Don't sign me up for eating slugs though, whether they are cooked or
raw.

Troll!? I was going to invite the silly ******* ...er..lucky
fellow over to the banquet in my garden and only charge him
a minimal fee. My free range slugs are all organically grown on
the finest and most delicately flavored leaves of lettuce, kale,
and spinach with lovely, fragrant flowers for dessert so that
their flesh is tender and juicy even at the two and three inch
size.

It's not at all shocking, throughout history and different cultures all kinds of gross looking bugs, insects and things have been eaten... The french still eat snails fried in butter with herbs, and out in Thailand you can buy canned crickets, beatles, ants eggs and even scorpions! The grosses thing I've heard is people in South America eat whole roasted tarantulas in their skins... Now that was disgusting. Not to mention the time I went to a Japanese restaraunt not far from Covent gardens and they had whole stir fryed baby squid, they looked vile with their greasy tenticles hanging everywhere and the one person brave (or foolish) enough to try it was eating them like the inner tube of a car tire...

The notion of eating slugs and worms is rather tame in comparison.

Fried squid is so commonly eaten that it isnt considered strange. One item I
eat that I always get a blank stare is conch. I dont think many people know
what lives in those shells that most only see on a Caribbean vacation.

Bry,

If they were rubbery, then they were likely overcooked. My Italian wife
fixes calamari (squid) in tomato sauce over pasta. It's heavenly. (But not
if it's overcooked.)

I've been wondering if they were edible, a slug should be pretty
indistinguishable from escargot especially when covered with garlic and
butter. People seem to think that this is a troll but I'm wondering if
anyone has tried them.

Lessee...

We flew into in Marsh Harbor (where else?) then hopped a ferry to Hope Town,
where we were based. We toddled around visiting the various cays. I recall
Great Guana Cay, where we strolled the "Great Guana Cay Turnpike" (wide
enough for one car or one and one-half golf carts) and visited Nipper's Dock
Bar (open 364.5 days a year) on its cliff overlooking the Atlantic. Did a
bit of snorkeling off Man of War Cay, also some sightseeing, and poking
around in the museum in Coopers Town. We happened to be down there for
Junkanoo and had a thoroughly enjoyable trip.
