    Experimenting is good but some times you know the outcome before it happens....

    You know slugs will taste crap...cos otherwise the french would eat them.

      Having lived in France for a number of years, I had to laugh out loud at this comment. I love France and the French but Oh so true!

        To be fair he did say at the end that the recipe would be improved by leaving out the slugs

        I usually find that his madcap ideas turn out OK in the end, I try a lot of them, but thie slugs even made me cringe. That seaweed chinese thing looked nice though. Next time I take the kids to the seaside I'll be taking an extra bucket

          Didn't bother me although I wouldn't want to eat them however OH was gagging over his brew.

          Some of us live in the past, always talking about back then. Some of us live in the future, always planning what we are going to do. And, then there are those, who neither look behind or ahead, but just enjoy the moment of right now.

          Which one are you and is it how you want to be?

                I have to admit, I did retch so much that my dear husband ran to get a bowl.

                As for the stir fry - looks good, but maybe they could have found the ingredients from somewhere other than a drain right next to a busy carriageway? As a drainage design engineer I have to say that they drainage ditch that they took the root from was there for a reason! It's to take the drainage and pollution away from the road surface! Did you *see* the blackness of the grime on the thing? And HFW, advocate of organic growing, eats it.

                *bleurgh!*

                  I too laughed out loud and agreed heartily.

                      They're dangerous to dogs as they can carry lungworm, Louise. As long as your dogs are wormed regularly, then they'll be fine! Lungworm only affects certain species (donkeys are very prone, too, but horses less so) and I think I'm right in saying humans aren't on the list. However, you could always worm yourself with Pripsin as a precaution. Yummy!

                      For pure disgust reasons, I won't be trying them. Dirty, dirty Hugh!!

                        I watched the programme but must admit that I missed the bit with the slugs.No regrets.
                        As for stir fry-looked fine but I tried to imagine giving OH a basket and telling him to "organise" something for the dinner.

                          I am glad I didn't watch this one!
                          re-lungworm. I don't suppose there would be any risk from cooked slugs (but that isn't enough to persuade me to try eating the disgusting things, I've seen what they eat in the woods!)
                          Flowers come in too many colours to see the world in black-and-white.

                            I haven't watched H.F.W. for donkey's years since I saw him cooking & eating placenta with a new mum! Yeuch!
                            The slugs sound disgusting too & no even if I was starving I don't think I could eat them. I saw someone preparing & cooking garden snails on TV last year when I was ill in bed with that nasty winter vomiting thing & that was enough!
                            Into every life a little rain must fall.

                              Slugs are no more disgusting to me than things like shrimps and whelks etc which are like sea bugs, they could have been tasty, they should have tasted like lettuce the amount they had been eating!!
                              When weeding, the best way to make sure you are removing a weed and not a valuable plant is to pull on it. If it comes out of the ground easily, it is a valuable plant. ~Author Unknown
