Roundback Slug - Arion sp. AKA: Poor Man&#039;s Peaches and Escargot Sans Coquille<br /> <br /> This roundback slug is lucky that I am the one who came across it, as there are many people who harvest and eat these slugs! Apparently, deep fried slug is a particular favorite among slug eaters. Alas, this slug will live to see another day :) Geotagged,Spring,United States,arion,land slug,orange,orange slug,roundback slug,slug Click/tap to enlarge

    Did not expect them to be seen as a delicacy! Posted 7 years ago

      Although, maybe not a "delicacy" as much as a necessity? Posted 7 years ago

    So pretty!

    *gags at the thought of fried slugs* I'd normally entertain the issue of fresh-foraged food, but I don't even want to imagine the texture of these. @_@     Posted 7 years ago

      Exactly. Ugh, too gross. I'd rather eat them fried than in soup though.

      Have you ever eaten snails? They are rubbery - kind of like squid, but I think slug would be more gooey and squishy.       Posted 7 years ago
