slug control Hugh Fearnley Whit style

just watched another HFW programme and all of a sudden I dont want my dinner anymore.
He went on his nightly slug patrol, collected them, froze them and then made a couple dishes and ate them!!!!
All for trying new things but that made me feel sick

 

Oh my I feel slightly nauseous now too. I think that is one recipe I shall give a miss.

 

I'm sorry @ThePlantAssassin. I had to Google.

 

What about winkles?

 

Rat lungworm doesn't exist in the UK (last time I checked - slugs can crawl into unattended beer cans left in the garden), but if living in SE Asia beware of Rat Lungworm in undercooked slugs that have been feeding on rat droppings. Angiostrongylus cantonensis - Wikipedia



But you can still cook them, even if you don't want to eat them. From 'Organic Gardening' by Roy Lacey 1988 (got a signed 1st edition) on page 140 under do-it-yourself sprays:

"an old remedy to deter snails and slugs is to collect as many as possible, morning and evening. Tip them into a bucket of boiling water and let it stand for a few days until the smell becomes fearsome, then strain off the liquid and use it to sprinkle round vulnerable plants, such as the young growth of delphiniums, lettuce and so on – but not on them. The remains of the slugs and snails can also be scattered."

 

I was honestly retching and had to fast forward when he started trying to squeeze the slime out and gut them.
@Jasmine star and @Scrungee

Thats is NASTY NASTY just plain NASTY

There must be an export opportunity here to Japan...
Our UK slugs would no doubt go down very nicely with sea urchins..

 

I'm in @JR I have plenty to export. This time next year we'll be millionaires.

 

Lol, the possibilities are endless.
Our eastern friends could enjoy slug and lettuce smoothies.
Slug sushi..

 

This is a partnership that's meant to be I've got the supplies you got the brains ha.
It makes your toes curl doesn't it. The thought of it.
