A slug is a naked snail.

Ha-cha-cha-cha.

That's exactly what a slug is. The only difference
between
the
two
is
the
shell. Whether that qualifies slugs to appear in
rec.gardens.EDIBLE is
a
question I can't answer.

Well... a slug is EDIBLE, and can be found in your
garden.

Thank you; now I know. Please feel free to help yourself.

Sorry. Snails are unclean.

What does "unclean" mean?
If I understand it correctly, edible snails are fed on bran or
suchlike for a couple of days before being dished up at a meal.

Not kosher. Treyf. An abomination. Not acceptable as food to
observant
Jews. (Lev. 11:42, "You shall not eat... anything that crawls on
its
belly...")

But most of the world do not follow the outdated Mosaic laws.

They are not outdated to the Jews..

I did not say they were.
The poster did not mention that they were unclean *as far as Jews were
concerned*. He made it sound much more general.

I remember a boss saying of a (highly-esteemed, I should say)
colleague "For somebody who can't work on Friday evenings, he eats an
awful lot of sausages." A Jewish girlfriend whose sister suddenly
started keeping Kosher and everything referred to the unexpected
transformation as "going Catholic".
