Slug kebab was on the menu for the lovely Hugh Furry-Knittingwool on the telly last night. A free and ecological source of protein or unspeakable, slimey filth? Even boiling in vinegar couldn't get rid of the accompanying goo. I don't think I will be chopping them into a risotto anytime soon.

I have a fancy for a white chocolate brownie with almonds and cranberries, mainly cos I discovered a couple of bags hurtling towards their sell-by date yesterday. Might be a good option for my stall at the street party and possibly a bigger seller than slug scones.
