Or for that matter, what happens when some adventuresome gourmand serves
slugs prepared as 'escargot' - slugs which have been dining on some plant
toxic to humans? And by the way, does anyone know if slugs are edible for
humans? I would think that if you can get yourself to eat a snail, can a
slug be much different?

Montgomery County, Maryland, USA, USDA zone 8, where I'm wondering just how
much garlic there would have to be in the mayonnaise or butter to get me to
try a slug.

In France they eat slugs, and in the finer restaurants in Denmark they serve both our black forest slug and the Iberian killer slug (brown or orange) for appetizers. I'm a vegetarian myself!
