Up here in the Russian River Ridges, banana-slug country supreme, the riverrat town of Goonieville [er, Guerneville] used to hold an annual SlugFest with music, booths, etc, and a cooking contest judged by local DJs. Since discontinued. Bother. Anyway, at one of the later Fests, a food entry was submitted, Banana Slug Cream Pie, consisting of live sluggies in a graham-cracker shell covered with whipped cream. And a brave yet insane woman, judging the contest, actually tasted this, becoming AFAIK the only known human to voluntarily eat live banana slugs. And smile.

This recipe appeared in the Evergreen College paper a long time ago (my clipping is yellowed and brittle). FROZEN DIPPED SLUGS: This has been a family favorite for a long time, especially during summer months. Just take slugs and jam them on the end of a popsicle stick (the big green ones are best). Then dip slugs in chocolate sauce, roll in chopped nuts and freeze. If anyone really, really wants them I also have recipes for Stuffed Crown Roast of Slugs, Shake and Bake Slugs, Slug Pate and the ever popular Devilled Slugs Extraordinaire.groups.google.com dr.dk
