few additives like salt included basically raw & cooked are the
same!

I only compost what my worms can eat, contents of teabags, raw,
finely chopped peelings and leaves, newspapers etc.
Never tried them with anything cooked as i tend to add salt to
things and I don't think they'd eat it.
They don't like onions or citrus fruits.

I get about 40 litres of top notch compost and about 4KG of worms for
fishing every year.

The compost is superior to anything you can buy - if used neat, it
outperforms miracle-gro compost by a mile, but i usually mix it
50/50 with cheap no-name compost


Ah!
But do the worms catch fish?

I catch the fish, the worms just help :-) - I take them to France twice a
year and bring back what i don't drown, I've landed several 30lb+ carp on
them. Worms in France are about 50p each (pot of ten for six Euros) which
is why mine are so well travelled.
