<< So, Lord Ras, what would you recommend as a method of serving worms? >>
After purging the worms wash them in cold water. Then plunge the live worms
into a pan of boiling water and cook for 15 minutes. Drain the worms. Repeat
the boiling procedure, at least one more time, in order to remove all of the
mucus from their bodies. After boiling, the worms can be chopped into pieces
and used in casseroles - instead of chicken or beef.
Alternatively, the worms can be baked in the oven. Freeze the worms first.
This kills them and stops them from wriggling off the baking tray! But
defrost the worms thoroughly, before baking in the oven at 200 degrees F, for
30 minutes. The dry worms can then be ground into a protein-rich flour. Use
this instead of normal flour in baked goods, such as bread, cakes, muffins
etc. Dried chopped worms can
also be used instead of raisins or nuts!
