Do they really make this stuff from worms? Or was it made of worms in the past?

Defenition:


Vermicelli , from Italian [ve删mi藞t蕛蓻l藧i], lit. ';little worms';) is a type of pasta, round in section and somewhat thinner than spaghetti.





No it isn't worms and never has been! :p Its just pasta named like that because it looks like it.
Please! lets be serious here, if you can't tell the difference between dried worms, and flour, eggs etc, I am sorry for you. I have never seen worms the length of pasta.

Yes, that's what vermicelli means.


But not because it's MADE from worms but because it LOOKS like worms. Was that not obvious?
