We do have slug races here, but that doesn't really count as a
glut-fest. For the uninformed, we have some of the world's largest slugs
in the Pacific Northwest; the largest banana slugs can reach 12 inches.
I have eaten snails and liked them; I always have wondered if you could
eat slugs too, but so far haven't been very adventurous. You sure would
have to go through a lot of corn meal to purge the suckers!

Just so long as they don't do these things in Tasmania! :)
