Sometimes it's vegan; sometimes it's plant-based.

yes.
I've never eaten slugs. No idea if they might taste nice. But I would give them a go.

take me to the feeling
Having seen my cat try, and fail, to eat a slug, I wouldn't. I mean, that's not the only reason but it certainly sealed the deal.

I once ate snails chopped up and in a canneloni. They tasted like the smell of rain.

Did anyone see tonight's? One of the more entertaining ones, I thought.
Very young looking lad amused me by being ever so slightly lairy, made a pig's ear of the chef test then completely turned it round.
I'm guessing now it's on the iPlayer in advance, we need spoilers or to follow the thread very carefully!

I'm amazed at the way they were all flummoxed by offal. Pro chefs who've never cooked offal before? Really surprised by that.

Watched that first thing this morning. Bless her. Clearly needed space and just had Gregg mouthing off.Trying to talk to an ADHD person who has just said she can't do more thing at once, while she's cooking on national TV
My son suffers from this same condition. You don't get them to multi-task. One thing at a time.

They should have a year when scallops are banned. Yes, scallops are delicious. But you know what else? They're really easy to cook and you don't have to do much if anything to them to make them delicious. 'Oh these scallops are perfectly cooked.' Woopdeedoo, and here's a perfectly boiled egg and some perfectly toasted toast.

Grapefruit is a new addition this year. Twice so far. Don't remember it at all before.

Tonight's episode sponsored by mussels and asparagus 
aren't they supposed to carry some kind of parasite that's bad for mammals?

Think so. Although I'm not sure that's what put her off in the end.

This piqued my interest so I looked them up.
The answer is yes, but then so do snails. Like snails, they're safe if you cook them thoroughly. And by all accounts they are similar to snails in the eating. It is recommended that you split them open and remove the guts.
So if they were presented to me thoroughly cooked and swimming in butter and garlic, I'd give them a go. Sound like a right faff to prepare, though.

Our disgust reactions are funny things. I admit that I feel a certain resistance to the idea of eating slugs. But I have no problem whatever with eating mussels. Love them, don't mind how they look, their slight sliminess or anything about them. Just love them.
Angiostrongylus cantonensis, or rat lungworm, is the one that's known to be a risk for humans and that's only been detected in a few places in Europe and never in the UK.
People have also been infected by eating other foods like salad and shellfish in areas where it is present.

Lost in the wood
I don’t want to mention it to Mrs SFM but one contestant bears a striking resemblance to an ex-girlfriend of mine with whom I had a rather vigorous and adventurous sexual relationship. It’s bringing back some pretty vivid memories so best to keep Schtum I suppose…

Not related to the current series, but this gem popped up in my Youtube recommendations again earlier
