Seriously;
A. I want to try them
and
B. I'm going to make about a dollar per worm I eat so

Can anyone give me a recipe or a way to cook them that would take away the, uh, worminess?

I agree with you, but I don't know what might be considered worse.
For example I happen to love barbecued crickets and have tried roast tarantula and even chocolate covered roaches.

By all means, eating properly prepared and cooked worms wouldn't be horrible, but in no way would be normally necessary. If you want them raw, you are crazy, unless you are participating in a survival exercise. Or surviving..

not hue.... saturation?

Garr! Brightness.
Hue: Red-orange-yellow-green-cyan-blue-purple-pink.
Saturation: Gray, faintly coloured, coloured, brightly coloured, eyeburn.
Luminosity (or lightness, as my photoshop slider labels it): Black, dark, coloured, light, white.

\\o// Okay, that was somewhat random...

On the subject of worm eating, I am curious about what type of worm you're planning to ingest. Though I'd suggest just frying them.

Make sure they are earth worms. Generally the prefer method cooked among survivalists is to fry them until crisp.

Here's a video showing how to prepare "worms" Vietnamese style.

Click.

I have something interesting for you guys. The link I provided links to an article from the New York Times which notes the possible health benefits of worm consumption. Odd.

As for eating, I'm no chef. Frying/baking is all that comes to mind. Be sure to gut the nasty fellas, and wash them properly.

Fry them and but them on a bun and eat it like a burger. It might work...

Mix them with something very strong to take away some of the weirdness. A few strong ingredients that would work are ginger, onions, garlic. :P YUM!!

Put them in a blender, mix in some garlic and some tomatoes, and you'll never remember what the "other ingredient" is.

Deep fry it and lace it with a drug.

Win win?

Okay, kidding, but deep fry it in a bread batter. It works for everything.

Just some nightcrawlers I find around my house, school, and such. Well it seems like I'm frying them at least and maybe with soy and marinara sauce.
And onions good call adios.
And thank you mage for the soup. Bam.

just put each one is a cake and bake it. then you get a dollar for every cake you eat(:

and i have read the book how to eat fried worms and i thought it was pretty good. in the end he makes a worm sandwich even tho he dosn't have to anymore. Really predictable but i was 10 so didn't expect it
