    Chop 'em up a bit and put 'em in a cup with cold water then swaller them down. Have another cuppa water to rinse the dregs down.

    People in other parts of the world eat worms, grubs, and insects, not as a matter of survival, but with enthusiasm. The fact is that all species of earthworms are edible by humans.

    Perhaps with a Merlot?

    Do I at least get to cook them?  I'm sure sautéed or hard fried they would be too bad?

    Did you know that a person can get worms from eating worms? (wait... would that be like getting 2 meals for the price of 1?)

    I'd have to fry them up a bit...
    but ...wait...I don't eat meat...
    good protein though...but
    if nothing else on this planet 
    was edible...hope there is salt and pepper.

    I'm very resourceful.  I just know I could find something else....something that is growing from the dirt.

      I'm not sure that's one of the options.

    Drown them in a bottle of Tequila (and me) and I think it would work!

    The "worm" in a bottle of mezcal (tequila's ugly little brother) isn't an earthworm, it's the larva of an agarve moth. Tequila is distilled from blue agarve, mezcal is made from yellow - and MUCH rougher.

    Nobody loves me, everybody hates me,
    Going to the garden to eat worms.
    Long thin slimy ones, short fat juicy ones,
    Watch them wiggle and squirm.
    Bite their heads off, suck their guts out,
    Throw their skins away,
    Nobody knows how well I feed
    On worms three times a day.

    "Down goes the first one, down goes the second one.
    Oh how they wiggle and squirm.
    Up comes the first one, up comes the second one.
    Oh how they wiggle and squirm."

  • How many worms would you need to eat not to stave off starvation?
