i never heard that slugs were edible. i know a variety of snails, both terrestrial and marine, are eaten around the world. i've of course tried escargot (in butter sauce) and also canned sea snails that are sold as "top shell" in some chinese groceries (these are quite tasty). of course, there are also the holothurians (sea cucumbers, also known as trepang or beche-de-mer) which are sometimes called sea slugs but they are not related to mollusca at all. years ago, i met a nigerian environmental activist who worked in the few remaining rainforests of that country near the border with cameroon. in these forests, there are gigantic arboreal snails, which he was trying to market and sell to europe. 9" (23 cm) slugs???? eeewwww... tsuh yang __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
