What about bearded seal meat, according to here[^] it is 82.6g protein per 100g meat sounds better than eating beasties...

Wow ! Bring it on. My only question is: do you have to shave them first, or is the beard tenderized by cooking ... assuming you cook the meat. If eaten raw, is the beard hard to swallow ?
thanks, Bill

Depends if you don't mind coughing up hair balls!

Are they related to bearded clams?

I've eaten a raw earth worm once, it wasn't very pleasant. Strangely rough on the outside, squishy on the inside, and annoyingly wiggly even after light chewing. Tastes more like mud than like meat.

Besides the culinary account (  ), what I take from this is...you also eat mud...

2 things:
1) There is an old adage "You eat a peck of dirt before you die" (and a peck is about 4.5 litres) - it might even be right, in that it increases your exposure to "harmful" organisms, which boosts your immune system. I dunno - I was brought up before the current obsession with over cleanliness. Doesn't mean I don't bleach my chopping boards regularly though! 
2) Better Mud than McDonalds.

Well, if you sit down and eat that much dirt, you deserve to die.

Just fry the bloody things, anything fried automatically tastes better than the original. Try some tempura vegetables, they are fried, improves veges no end! Got improve the taste of earth worms.
I've seem some silly bugger eat raw witchetty grubs, you can often get a tourist to eat them, just call them bush tucker. Fried in a little butter they are delicious.
Never underestimate the power of human stupidity

Forget eating BSF larvae or other insects directly. Aquaponics is the way to go - a constant supply of fish, veges, and fruit in a mostly closed ecosystem.

"In addition to protein-rich (50-72%), earthworms also contains several amino acids ... such as arginine (10.7%), tryptophan (4.4%) and tytosin (2.25%).
Surely, it unnecessary to elucidate the possible advantages of earth-worms over flies, but, since this is the Lounge, it would be exceptional not to do that, so:
1. no faint buzzing audible in the house coming from the larvae ranch.
2. for the prudish: less copulation (by flies) occurring in the house.
3. more space in the ground than in the kitchen.
4. earthworms perform valuable functions of aerating the soil (I assure you I have no prejudice against flies, per se).
5. direct-to-burger-patty for earth-worms much easier than larvae prep (?)
6. no problem of removal of chitinous residue of dead flies, and their (stinking ?) corpses ?
... tastes like chicken.

Cryptically, the key to a good joke is telling it to yourself in private, and then if it's funny, telling it to the public.

Yuck.
I think it's nonsense when you hear people going on about how one day we will only have flies and insects to eat because somewhere along the line every other type of food disappeared.
