To Use Earthworms?
To Use Earthworms?

Monday morning.. . Apr. 10, 1978... 7:15. Alma Motter steps out the front door of her two story, brick home and begins her walk to school. No sooner does she step onto the cement than does she detect a haunting, yet disgusting scent, the scent of drowning worms.
Laymen usually refer to worms as one of nature's most disgusting blobs of living slime, the sight of which are the worst ever to be seen on the face of the earth. Those in the know, however, refer to the worm in more vivid terms. Some of the more common phrases used by naturalists, when engaged in worm talk, are the humus helpers and the soil savers. (They are also known as the soil saviors in certain parts of the South.)
With all the views weighed, the earthworm is truly one of nature's greatest creatures. Did you know that the earthworm is a common worm? Did you know that the worm is a fine bait for fishing? Did you know that the earthworm has no eyes or ears? These and other facts have been discovered by biologists, people who spend hours watching worms and end up getting paid for it.
Of all worms, the earthworm is the most common. This worm can be found in moist, warm soil in many parts of the world. Worms are frequently used as appetizers in moist, warm parts of the world.

In Thailand, for example, I Urn Lung and his family relish the thought of worms for dinner. I's wife, My Lung, prepares the worms with the grace of a French chef preparing a tongue sandwich. My dips the worms in a sweet-sour sauce in order to mask the stench of fresh worms. She then puts the worms into her wok. After a short time she removes them from her wok and places the worms in a frying pan. When the worms are finished, I Urn and the children, Bob and Mary, take their places on the floor and dip the fired worms into containers of chocolate and strawberry. Strangely, Americans do not share these same delights.
Worms are the well‑known bait of top U.S. fishermen, who refer to them as fishworms or angleworms, In Thailand worms and fish are a major part of the average diet, therefore, worms cannot be used to catch fish. Ingenious people, the Thais, have discovered a solution to this dilemma. Flies are employed as bait because they are so numerous. In fact, Thai flies come a yen a dozen. Thailandese flies grow to enormous proportions, yet they are hesitant to be used as dinner for a crazed gar. Many of the younger Thai families have discovered that fish are rapidly disappearing from their diet. The fish are disappearing as fast as worms are appearing on their diet.
Let's face it, Thailand is not one of the most technically advanced nations. Who would want to eat worms anyway? They're only the world's most disgusting blobs of living slime.
