Just in case somebody doesn't recognize this as the troll it is: http://www.ananova.com/news/story/sm_830525.html 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.

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.

I eat slugs in my garden
Quote:
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. |

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.) Mike D.

I've been wondering if they were edible, a slug should be pretty indistinguishable from escargot especially when covered with garlic and butter.

MAN!! this is making me drool right now!!!!! -- i can't wait until next year when we go back..where abouts did you sail? 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. |
