RE: But what about Slugs?

H* A*

Our guys have shells, and so far the chef ain't come back dead.  However,
for due dilligence sake, it might be best to take a crop of your slugs to
your local agriculture agent ( of if you have an entomologist) and check to
see if your slugs are edible. 

For me, as a vegetarian, slugs are off limits, but Frenchy in the next
raised bed seems to like 'em. 

Due dilligence is the way, always. When in doubt, check 'em out.

Best wishes,
Adam

So, can one do the same thing with slugs?  Are they truly just snails 
without a shell or are they a different species all together that would 
poison anyone who dare cook them with butter?

This was a hot question on rec.gardens.edible a few years back, but no one 
found a definitive answer.  But Adam can find the answer to anything, so 
I'm asking! ;-D
