A long time ago someone posted a recipe (as a joke, I hope)
whose main ingredient was slugs. I forget what the dish was
called, but if anyone has a copy of it, could they please mail
it to me (I'm not a regular net.cooks subscriber)?
For that matter, any similar (i.e. totally facetious) recipe
would be appreciated.
Thanks.

I am also interested in the slug recipe and any weird or silly
recipes that anyone has. (The recipe for 'Creamed Mouse' was great!)
If anyone has any good recipes, please also mail them to me. I write
a silly newsletter, and every month (or every time I publish) I include
a strange recipe.
I will send copies of my weird recipes to anyone that expresses
interest, but I probably won't get around to it very quickly.

The following recipe is taken from Edward Lear's "Nonsense Cookery."
TO MAKE GOSKY PATTIES
Take a Pig, three or four years of age, and tie him by the off hind
leg to a post. Place 5 pounds of currants, 3 of sugar, 2 pecks of peas,
18 roast chestnuts, a candle, and 6 bushels of turnips, within his reach;
if he eats these, constantly provide him with more.
Then procure some cream, some slices of Cheshire cheese, four quires
of foolscap paper, and a packet of black pins. Work the whole into a
paste, and spread it out to dry on a sheet of clean brown waterproof linen.
When the paste is perfectly dry, but not before, proceed to beat the
Pig violently, with the handle of a large broom. If he squeals, beat him
again.
Visit the paste and beat the Pig alternately for some days, and
ascertain if at the end of that period the whole is about to turn into
Gosky Patties.
If it does not then, it never will; and in that case the Pig may be
let loose, and the whole process may be considered as finished.
