Blast,

Very cool project.

Here's a writeup from a friend who investigated "worm ranching" in a midtown Manhattan apartment, and whether worms like spicy food. . .

When I Compost My Jalapenos. . . (Partable Chef NYC Blog) Beware, this blog has some non-child friendly words, and loads of good food porn. (as in pictures that will make you hungrey. It's totally safe for work.)

Hi Blast - the sketch looks great, but it looks like something's been left out. Where do you fit in the henweigh?

The henweigh holds the top lid down, just in case the worms get too boisterous.

Looks good so far. How do I get 'em to stay on my new George Foreman grill? Without cheesing off the petaheads? Marinate in sangria perhaps? Not a bad way to go, really ...

Doug, you've seen the long-handled fish-grilling baskets for barbecues, right? You just need one with a smaller mesh... and a lid.

I hope you properly and humanely dispatch and skin them before cooking. Nothing is as waterproof as a wormskin garment. Beats Goretex all hollow.....

I had been using a 9mm to shoot them in the back of the head but the neighbors complained. Now I hang them and slit their throats with my kukhri. You don't want to completely decapitate them though as there's a lot of good meat in the worm jowls, tongue, and neck.

I wouldn't mind being marinated in sangria. I think I may have been a time or two. I just tried it from the inside out. crazy

Isn't a 9mm a little light? I would go with nothing less than a 357 Mag but that is probably just my old habits showing up again.

Somehow this thread has turned into a can of worms
