WORM STEW
« on: May 31, 2006, 14:19 »
i have been looking at the wealth of worms in my plot (millions), and i got to thinking that they actually look quite tasty. my question is does anybody have any olde worlde recipies for earth worms. i'm sure this must seem strange to some but hey snails are good eating and worms appeal more to me than a lot of shell fish thats about. i am going to collect some worms and keep them in some bran for a few days to get the grit out and then i shall try the recipies i hope you will suggest. i am also going to feed it to my flatmates without them knowing until they have finished.

thats a pretty twysted thing to do to your mates man, funny though.

I'd chop them up small and make a kind of worm bolognaise type thing, I bet the texture's quite prawny. You could also dry them, crush and add to wholemeal bread rolls.

I've seen a survivalism recipe for worms in wood pigeon omlet (I'm guessing about the wood pigeon but was some sort of wild bird.) The worms were just squeezed to get the soil out.

I think using ant pupe as a kind of wild food might taste better but I have to admit, I've never eaten worm. :)

How about tasty Banana Worm Bread? :D

Not sure how you'd go about dry roasting the worms mind.

:lol:  Somehow I don't think those school children meant for their recipes to actually be used and eaten!  :shock:  :D
wistfully hoping to one day be mostly organic gardener in North London.

I think worms do a great job in the soil, I can't imagine why anyone would want to eat them? unless of course you're doing a bush tucker trial.
I took over an allotment  approx 2 1/2 years ago on my retirement. Although I find that time is at a premium,  I realy enjoy spending as much time as I can at the allotment..--JUDY

Pal of mine, way back when, was in the SAS. He told me that you can eat nearly anything that is alive and when it hits the stomach, it's protein.
The proviso was to avoid venemous creatures unless you could remove the bit with the poison. Like the snake's head.
I watched an episode of CSI New York where they had a posh restaraunt serving centipedes and deep fried big spiders.  YUCK YUCK YUCK
I know our resident chef, Granny Dumplin, has eaten Guinea Pig in south America and honey ants.
French people eat frog's legs and snails (probably slugs as well)
Some African peoples eat insects and view eating fish as we view eating insects.
I reckon there are some very strange people out there, Ladybird, except for thee and me. And even thee's a little queer at times :)

Hey, I'm interested in eating insects, prawns are like insects if you think about it. I haven't tried yet but am going to eat ant larve, they are supposed to taste like prawn.

I love the taste of Frogs Legs too but I don't eat them now since I found out how cruelly they are butchered. Snails are nice, I had them in France deep fried in bacon fat, lovely, my wife likes them too.

I think the majority of people, you know the ones who don't grow their own food, think milk comes from cartons and don't even know how to cook with raw ingredients, they are the strange ones. Normalcy is a minority passtime. :D

Jake, you're a braver man than me :)

I know where my food comes from, but that doesn't mean I'.m going to eat snails. Early conditioning or something.
