Slug's what exactly?

that would be telling....

Sorry Slug.
No offence intended.
Just a jolly jest.

Is someone taking my name in vain?? For the record, I'm nothing like cooked mushrooms!!

nope - didn't work for me but that's maybe because they were frozen

I was meaning lightly done in butter

No, no, no. Only nastily overcooked mushrooms are chewy. Lightly sauted in garlic butter, now that sounds tasty.
Anyway presuming slugs taste like snails, being basically the same creature, they'd only taste of whatever they were flavoured with. I recommend lots of garlic.
(Apologies to our own Slug who I'm sure is very tasty but we would not want to sit on anybody's dinner plate )

Did I manage to convince anyone to go out and try the poor old Brussels sprout again??? trust me, its worth it, just dont overcook them..

cya
tab

It's funny that, Metal Chicken, but I do happen to be particularly fond of Garlic......

Tree, I too cannot eat mushrooms any more cos of the Slug thing (no offence Slug)

I did relief sorting at the Post Office on Xmas and on the last day we went up to the canteen for breakfast. The mushrooms must have been under those weird heat lamps for hours. They even looked like slugs.

Now I cannot look one in the face however lightly cooked / raw it is!

I too cannot eat mushrooms. The last time I had mushrooms I ended up in an art gallery laughing at the notice board for 3 hours believing it to be a melting painting. I was thrown out.
Don't eat mushrooms kids

Oh dear. They sound like fun mushrooms. Where was the art gallery?

Amsterdam. Oh dear! I think I've been duped!!

Curiously, I love mushrooms of all kinds - Cooked and Raw. When I was little (about 8 yrs old), my exceedingly eccentric headmistress would go out into the fields nearby and collect (edible) toadstools and cook them for us before morning assembly. Thus I acquired my taste for fungi of all sorts, and can probably claim to have eaten every kind of edible toadstool/mushroom in England - perhaps I really am a Slug!!

P.S. Those 'fun' mushrooms Niz was refering to can also be found in certain fields in Warwickshire!!

Have you a grid reference on that!! I feel a harvest coming on.
Don't do it kids it's not big and not clever!!!

Funnily enough when I was at school the headmaster wouldn't let us pick the liberty cap mushrooms that grew on the football pitch.
Fancy not letting us expand our minds. It should be mandatry.

It doesn't make you grown up kids

My headmistress obviously felt it increased our enthusiasm for school....

Hi.

Of course, wild mushrooms grow best in the bull paddock.
I can remember my father taking us mushrooming, as he drove around the bull paddock we leaned out of the car and picked them out the open door. While the bulls stood around and watched.
to the Bulls.
