>>> I'm sure it's what slugs eat to get their texture and mucous coating.
HA! Well, I see somebody isn't going to be publishing any "For the love of Okra" books very soon.
Your point does bring up one interesting little question though... When did you get to taste the texture of a garden slug ?

In my youth, I was much more adventurous in my culinary experiments.
I heard they eat slugs in Oregon. That's from the guy in the office adjacent mine at work. I hope he's yanking my chain.

I can't imagine slugs are that much different than snails; and many people eat snails. I think it's the garlic butter.

When I was in Japan, I tried something called natto, a fermented bean curd dish. I still shudder to remember the taste and the texture of it. I'm usually pretty tolerant of new and strange dishes, but that one really grossed me out.

I haven't tried natto, but I have had something that Cantonese Chinese call stinky tofu in English. Rather good I thought. Also forgot to mention durian fruit which tastes great but smells awful.
Ceci n'est pas un seing.

I heard they eat slugs in Oregon In my childhood days, I once heard from my mother that there were people in our village who put sugar on slugs, that liquefied them, and they slurped the resulting syrup against cough.

May not be a cure for a cough, but that would surely prevent me from revealing I had a cough!!

I guess the grossest thing I ever ate was haggis. I had to try it, nobless oblige, being part Scots.
