I've seen recipes for the banana slugs which are so popular in the

Nor have mine (the Cardiocrinum) been touched.

This is beginning to sound a bit like what happens with deer: in some

certain plants are never touched. In other areas, those same plants are
browsed.

Then there is the situation where certain plants are not touched for

and then the deer begin to browse them.

I've often seen box turtles dining on Aminata - I wonder what happens to
someone who then makes turtle soup with that turtle?

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?

much garlic there would have to be in the mayonnaise or butter to get me

try a slug.
