Yummmm......so what about our beloved slugs? surely they are the same?

No, slugs can be deadly, they eat all sorts of dead and decaying matter, including dog poop.

Yuk....no wonder they are so revolting but surely you can farm those as well....I could be a huge slug farmer ...they also are good for the skin...........

nope the mighty slug is designed to be inedible the best way to cook with slug is forget to put the slug in!!!

Never seen a slug here 8)
