...why don't slugs eat ground elder?!!

Because slugs don't suffer with GOUT innit!

Because although they are ugly, fat, obnoxious slime balls, they do like the finer things in the veg patch.

Do you eat Ground Elder? It is edible but if you won't eat it, why should a slug?

I eat it as I am a severe gout suffer, and it works for me.... Just cook ala spinach and down it as quick as you can eat it lol!

Ergo, Cue the Toms, you are NOT a Slug! Sounds vile!!!

Hahaha, have been accused of being a slime ball, so not far off one

It's not great to eat but when I suffer I don't care..... In actual fact, if someone told me that eating a fresh slug would help with the pain then I would eat one of them, trust me

Gout's awful Chris, can't you just get Allopurinol from your GP?

Slugs don't eat any weeds ........just my brassicas......

I love this place.

I'm going to have to try some ground elder now, I guess. These recipes look interesting:
nami-nami: a food blog: Gardener's revenge: ground-elder and cottage cheese pie
nami-nami: a food blog: Ground-Elder and Vanilla Muffins

I'll skip the fresh slug garnish, though, thanks.

I am currently under the specialists to hopefully get it sorted.... I suffer like you wouldn't believe!

The Dr thinks I have a chronic liver disease which is causing the very severe gout attacks... Just waiting for test results due next month so praying that there will be some sort of ending to this soon..

This was my right knee just two weeks ago:

This type of elder is not the same as the elder used for wine or cordials?

Nope.
