TV chef Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall once created a series of recipes for adventurous cooks to willingly include slugs.
British student Amanda Janney claims to have had an involuntary slug cuisine experience, though.
The 20-year-old, based in Lincolnshire, had nearly eaten a whole bag of Morrisons own-brand frozen veg - which includes renowned UK produce such as broccoli and cauliflower - when she says she found the slug.
She told the Daily Star: 'I had about one or two bowls left and put some in the microwave. But when I went to pour the bowl out onto my plate I saw something dark.
'I picked it up thinking it was just a burnt bit of veg and then saw it was a slug.'
A spokesperson for Morrisons said: “Despite the rigorous checks and quality control we ask all of our suppliers to have in place, there are very rare occasions where objects are not detected.
'We apologise to Amanda and have already offered her a gesture of goodwill.”
