    I remember salting those things with my grandpa in his garden when I was a kid.

    I also remember UCSC students cooking and eating them after the school adopted the banana slug mascot.

      adopted the banana slug mascot

      Did they run out of, like, normal mascots?

          Santa Cruz is weird, but I don’t know that it’s evergreen college weird.

          It seems they’ve changed its appearance

          to this

          smiling grey mascot looking like a grey tako hotdog

          from this

          mascot has deep green skin, large eyes with huge pupils, flat wide mouth, and looks creepy while holding a real geoduck that looks as a trunk growing from a clam at best

          The old one looked much more impressive

      Eating slugs sounds like a good way to get horrific parasites… I wouldn’t even trust one that’s been burnt to charcoal.
