Why do people eat snails but not slugs?

As far as I’m aware people don’t eat slugs, but snails are widely eaten. What’s the difference? They both look the same basically but I’ve never heard of slugs being eaten, at least in the same way snails are ate

Snails are softer because they have a shell to shield their squishy bodies. This makes them nicer to eat. Slugs are chewier and have a thicker, tougher skin layer to protect them against sharp objects and abrasion.
