Title: slug eggs
Post by: mormor on October 05, 2010, 13:16:03
Now I am clearing up and find slug eggs under dead leaves, overgrown plants, etc. etc.
How do I deal with them? Is just scattering them OK and hope they dry up? Or should I collect them and get rid of them..........best way?

Sadly, I find this interesting - does anyone have a picture of the genuine article?

It's going to get worse - snail farmers are selling snail eggs as mollusc caviar - slug eggs would count as this - in fact to me slug eggs look identical to snails eggs. There's probably no reason why they would taste much different.

I haven't tried either but I have given both to my fish - though they aren't as enthusiastic as they are when I give them ant 'eggs'.

Cheers (and bon appetit).
