NIGHTCRAWLER'S DELIGHT
I made this recipe up for my Halloween 2002 party, and it was such a hit that I decided to share it. It looks especially good in a glass bowl, and is a great conversation starter. This recipe would also make a fine St. Pat's Day drink, as it is a beautiful color of green. Simply use clover in the bottom of the bowl rather than Gummi worms

Tips:
- Choose the right worms: Select large, juicy nightcrawlers for the best flavor and texture.
- Clean the worms thoroughly: Rinse the worms under cold water to remove any dirt or debris. Then, pat them dry with a paper towel.
- Cook the worms quickly: Overcooking can toughen the worms, so cook them only until they are heated through.
- Season the worms well: Nightcrawlers have a mild flavor, so be generous with the seasonings. Garlic, onion, and paprika are all good choices.
- Serve the worms hot: Nightcrawlers are best served immediately after cooking. They can be eaten on their own, or used as a topping for other dishes, such as tacos or nachos.
Conclusion:
Nightcrawlers may not be the most appetizing ingredient, but they are a nutritious and sustainable source of protein. If you are looking for a new and adventurous culinary experience, give nightcrawlers a try. You may be surprised at how delicious they can be.
