Kim Williams in the eponymous cookbook and commentary has a recipe for "Hi Pro Chili" which, notwithstanding the claim of it being an April Fool's recipe, gives a convincing method for preparing earthworms for a high protein addition. Purged with a two day cornmeal diet, the worms are boiled then dried, then added to the chilli.
I believe the result would resemble granules of texturized vegetable protein.
And so for day 397
