Slug tastes

My potatoes are always perfect and never eaten by slugs... yet my friend in the South West has a real problem with her plants being eaten by them. Odd how slugs in different areas seem to have different tastes.. anyone know why?

 

wouldnt like to try tasting them

 

LOL!! My other half accidentally got a slug in his mouth once, hahaha, picked up a glass of pop without looking at the glass and drank a slug which was on the edge of it, course it spewed defensive slime aswell, ewwwwwww!!! I can't even begin to imagine how nasty that was, lol!! :D

 

:D :D

jay, that is gross!!!!!!!!!!!!

I thought I held the title of posting the most disgusting info. but I think you now have that honour?

:D :D

 

I know, lol, but I was absolutely howling when he told me, 1% sympathy, 2% disgust and 97% amusement value! :D

 

Oh my god! i was nearly sick when i read what happend to your partner Jay.
Slugs are my absolute pet hate, they make me go all funny and i am that pathetic that i can't even move them, have to get the other half to do the honour (of which he moans profusley everytime..."get a grip" or "call yourself a gardener" etc etc)

I have to say that your last comment Jay about the slugs made me laugh out loud.

p.s I didn't know they produce some slime when scared? eeewwwwwwww!!

 

Lol, yes they go really slick, what's EVEN funnier, if it can get any more hilarious, is that it wasn't a little one it was one of the big black ones with the orange frilly bits on, HAHAHAHAHAHA, they're like small hovercrafts!!!!!! Fantastic!! :D :D :D :D

 

Oh gawd!...nearly put me off me Muscadet.. well almost :D

 

Open Wide

 

do slugs have any purpose other than looking horrid, creating slime all over and ending up in our drinks. yak

 

A real tasty meal to a hungry hedgehog, fox and all sorts of wildlife and of course birds!

You wouldn't want them to go without their 5 a day would you? :D :D

 

when my nephew was little he used to eat those little tank thingys,he said they tasted like fish fingers. :D

 

The birds here on the coast will have a field day no hedgehogs or foxes here they will have the slugs all to them-selves -

 

Me and the kids play "slugs in Space", where we try and catapult them off a trowel as far as we can into the field behind :D :D
Ok, probably not very kind, but bl**dy good fun
They are slugs after all :D
