Banana slugs are kinda yellowish, sorta triangular, and two to six inches long (around here, anyway). About a week after we saw our first banana slug (having just moved to the Santa Cruz mountains from roach-filled L.A.), my wife and I went to a local Szechwan restaurant. We ordered the curried eggplant dish, and what we got was yellowish (from the curry), triangular, six-inch long slices of eggplant, about the consistency one might expect a slug to be. It tasted OK, but neither of us could eat more than a couple bites of it. -- -- Doug Landauer -- ...[ ihnp4 | mot | ucscc | amdahl ] !drivax!landauer Save the Zayante hump-backed slug!
