2. Break the egg into a bowl, beat lightly, and add the chopped slugs, parsley, curry powder, breadcrumbs and salt and pepper.

3. Cover the base of a frying pan with a layer of oil about 2mm deep, and place over a medium heat. When the oil is hot, drop in spoonfuls of the batter. Fry until golden on the underside, then flip over and fry the second side. Drain briefly on kitchen paper, then enjoy!

  1. Like the idea that slugs are useful for at least one thing. Being a vegetarian, I have no idea how to cook slugs, but would love to make slug fritters for my friends. How does one cook the slugs?
