Please do be careful of the fruits of potatoes, they really are quite poisonous. I often wonder who discover these things, that you can eat the 'roots' of spuds but not the fruit, and the stalks of rhubarb and not the leaves. I have often wondered if the fact that the fruits of potatoes look like tomatoes, as they would, being the same family - gave rise to the earlier idea that tomatoes were poisonous? There was a chef to one of the kings, can't remember which one, who put tomatoes in a stew to kill the king, ran for his life, but of course the king had a lovely supper and rose again the next day quite happy and well!
I am sure I saw a Hugh Fearnley sh...ing house try a slug stew and it was disgusting according to him, if my memeory serves me right.
If you want to eat snails from the garden then collect them up a few weeks before hand and keep them in a containeer and feed on lettuce leaves and chives. that way you know they contain no toxins.
Though why anyone would want to eat things which have little taste and only are edible when drowned in filthy muck garlic and butter I do not know.
Well I thought slugs were just snails which are homeless so would taste the same. Not that I would eat either, gristly little buggers they must be.
If I did though, I'd cut my food bill by half, as there must be 10 thousand of the little buggers on our allotments.
Climbing the shed, inside the roof of the greenhouse, stuck to pots and even balancing on the top of 6ft bean canes. I could start olympic mollusc events.

My hedgehog thinks so - thank goodness
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
I believe that garden snails are
Will they go in a sandwich?
Not of their own volition

Am considering a slug casserole-how many will it take to feed a family of two and a dog?
I'm not sure but reckon my garden could supply all your needs

I think I have gone off the idea
