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!!!

When it rains over here, people from the villages swarm all over the mountains to gather the 'cargols'
I shall just gather my own.
Never seen a slug here

,,apart from them eating poo they could be OK farmed surely? They are both from the same family except for the shells I am sure they are the same, there has been a lot or research about putting the slime on your skin...............lovely, maybe I should go to bed and let them do their work at night and as for Huge and his cooking tips, what about this :-
