"That is true," Sherlock replied with a shrug as he opened the packet of jelly slugs and chewed on one while he replied to John concerning those very things. "They don't actually taste like slugs. They're basically gummy sweets that look like slugs. I think they're similar to the muggle... Jelly snakes? I think." He swallowed with a smile. "They're nice, though. Unhealthy but nice. Not like slugs... Which are pretty horrible." He made a face. He may or may not have tried eating a slug when he was younger as an experiment. Because, after all, snails were a delicacy in France so maybe slugs would be nice. Turned out that they really were not. Safe to say that had never happened again. He grimaced slightly as he reached for his liquorice wand, taking a few bites and eating it. It was okay... He'd never been all that fond of liquorice. Preferred other sweets. He was quite glad Mycroft had left before the food trolley had come. He wouldn't approve even though he ate copious amounts. Far more than Sherlock did.
