Marmie: Slug Guts Flying Everywhere

Marmitetoasty: When all me lads were little they all had a go at eating slugs, you see, when I was married I use to own with my tosser X a small plant nursery, so the lads would just come with us to work, even from babies they would sit amongst the plants whilst we worked…. so they all had a go at munching insects ... until ... We taught them that slugs were our biggest enermy ... and as they got bigger they were shown that if you see a slug and you stand by the side of it and then stamp with all your weight half way down the body of a slug ... the guts and insides would shoot out at great speed and the skin would be left intact on the ground -- I remember them gathering the slugs and lining them up opposite each other and playing WAR against each other ... slugs guts flying everywhere :)

Question: Have you ever eaten a bug, slug, worm ... or anything else along these lines?
