First catch your troll... Truss and gag tightly and put on one side... Make 14 lbs of bread dough and shape into rolls... Put aside to rise while making the soup. Fill a humongous saucepan half way with water or vegetable stock* and bring to the boil... Add, in this order, waiting for the broth to come back to the boil each time: 8 sweedes, diced finely 12 lbs of dices carrots 14 lbs of diced onions 6 lbs of pearl barley 14 heads of celery, sliced finely 8 Savoy cabbages, finely shredded 10 lbs of leeks sliced finely 1 lb finely minced parsley Salt & pepper to taste While the soup is cooking, bake the bread rolls. Go check on the troll.. Oh, bugger, it died! Never mind, just bury it under the compost heap, it'll feed the roses nicely. Serve soup and rolls to the gathered multitude. -- Kate XXXXXX Lady Catherine, Wardrobe Mistress of the Chocolate Buttons http://www.diceyhome.free-online.co.uk Click on Kate's Pages and explore! * If you use stock cubes for this recipe, don't add more salt - they are salty enough! |

Thinking of creepy crawley things that aren't quite worms...witchety grubs. The aborigines (of Oz) eat them as bush tucker - raw, maybe even alive. Never tried it but some whitefellas say it's pretty good, such as Major Les Hiddens, the Bushtucker Man, who had a cooking programme on the ABC about how to find and cook the food aborigines ate. J |

That SAS survival bloke that gets on the telly telling us soft couch
potatoes how to survive on Scottish islands speaks of frying earthworms on hot stones and how nourishing they are. Lesley "Ralf Dieholt" > wrote in message om... > I think there must be many good recipes for worms, since our ancestors > ate worms and worms are very healthy ? |

Historic worm meals
Not so historic, but interesting nonetheless....
When I was an undergraduate doing a course in internal parasitology, there was a guy who insisted that the pig round worm (Ascaris suum), although looking for all intents the same as a human round worm (another Ascaris sp..), were not the same deal. To prove this he figured on testing the ability of the former to set up shop in a human host (ie himself). To this end he proposed to ingest a large number of adult and juvenile worms (adults contained fertile eggs and some small ones might survive the stomach and grow). If they were suited to human conditions then he could expect to rear a new crop or at least have some survive. The assembled "specimens" were put on a large burger bun and wolfed down - with only a little gagging I am told. These things are up to 1 foot long, 1/4 inch thick and of a gristly consistency much tougher than an earthworm as it is a nematode. The good news was that when the researcher "de-wormed himself" at an appropriate later date, there were in fact no Ascaris round worms to be found in the stuff flushed from his gut. He completed his PhD and is presumably somewhere out in the workforce today. Now there's someone who gave his all for science! PS Earthworms in fact would be quite hard to eat as they are full of grit - living as they do on a diet of soil matter. People have suggested that reasonable results may be possible if they are allowed to "purge" without soil for a couple of days. I suppose this is like the practice of letting eels from muddy streams sit in the water tank for a couple of days before killing and cooked.

Um - If worms are so healthy how come all our ancestors are dead? If the worms are healthy maybe it's 'cos they ate our ancestors here are some photos of edible bugs: http://www.menzelphoto.com/gallery/meb.htm |
