Didja see "Fear Facor" where they had to eat living Limax?

I have found that having live snails in your mouth is a GREAT party
trick. people are really grossed-out when you walk up to them, open
your mouth and stick out your tongue... and there is a big fat
Helix aspersa crawling on it.

Clean (snail picked up during rain, so it's clean and slime-free) and
tasteless. No residue to wash out of your mouth.

WARNING... do not try this with a slug. Not all landsnails are
alike... and slugs produce far more slime than Helix, and it adheres
tenaciously to the tonue, resisting efforts to remove it. Don't ask
how I know this...
