  • Thought you were going to eat it! they taste ok here on the coast but watch for the yellow ones. Great vids,

  • @441rider Are you serious! I have been searching the internet to try and find out which insects and bugs are edible. I have not found anything on slugs. Do you know of any other UK bugs that are edible.

  • @seanmulhall

    PS

    I'd eat that guy in a heartbeat with melted butter and garlic over any worm. I jest about the butter I'd have to have nothing to harm such a cool animal but eating leaves I cannot do for days on end. He is an indicator of sorts to leaves you can eat as well as fungus if in a do or die just give one some beer and watch.

  • @441rider

    I may be wrong but I believe that slugs can eat fungi that is poisonous to us

  • nice.

    the hole is for breathing, slugs are the only mollusks that have a breathing system similar to a lung.

    it seemed like it was having a hard time with the inner stock on the mushroom, munch munch munch.

  • Wow, thanks for that information.

  • thats awesome

  • Boring.

  • AAAHHHH!!! SLUGS ARE GROSS I HATE SLUGS!!!!

  • @seanmulhall If you decide to eat a slug, make sure you boil it first to ruduce the slime. They go down much like oysters but with less after taste.

  • All insects are edible you need to cook some of them like slugs & snails some slugs contain harmful diseases so I personally wouldn't take the risk but snails are safe I'd gut them first though.

  • One time I ate a slug and I died

  • @seanmulhall

    I will try and take my Nikon on next trip and find them. Rule I was taught by west coast natives was no bright coloured ones. Snails test 2 then feast rule. Lots of places along shore to drag in crabs as well and a lic here is $22./yr for 6-8 a day. $50. or less for two deer or so a year.
