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But most of the world do not follow the outdated Mosaic laws.

That is why I wrote "to observant Jews".
