I'm not sure about slug recipes, but while researching Lavanda came 
across the Ant Brood Taco recipe, which she graciously shared with 
us...

Ant Brood Tacos: 

              2 tablespoons butter or peanut oil 
              1/2 pound ant larvae and pupae 
              3 serrano chilies, raw, finely chopped 
              1 tomato, finely chopped 
              Pepper, to taste 
              Cumin, to taste 
              Oregano, to taste 
              1 handful cilantro, chopped 
              Taco shells, to serve 

Heat the butter or oil in a frying pan and fry the larvae or pupae. 
Add
the chopped onions, chilies, and tomato, and season with salt. 
Sprinkle
with ground pepper, cumin, and oregano, to taste.

Serve in tacos and garnish with cilantro. (Not living in an area
exceptionally prolific with ants, I have never been able to try this
recipe. But it sounds perfectly delicious! I  found it in 
'Creepy Crawly Cuisine', a fine recipe book.)
