“This here’s the magnus sapidum pedicabor but most folks just calls it the big black worm,” the old lady gaily explained as she worked with a butcher’s precision. “One gots ta act quick ta bag one of these effers. Ya needs the right kinda bait ta lure ’em. But bait be hard ta git aroun’ these parts in the spring, jest when ya needs it the most. But here ye be and Gods be buggered, it’ll be so worth the effert. The black worm’s right some delectable all stewed up with the onions and beets.”
That is surely a record-sized black worm, and one could imagine tha amount of Fells gagh that could be made of that — perhaps… too much. Apart from artesian wells, one wonders if it wasn’t also the action of some monstrous creature(s) like this, also working to undermine the City’s foundations, with its ceaseless, subterranean digging…. Probably best not to give thought to such outlandish notions, I am sure :)

Old Robin down Dairy way says it best:
