 Fiddleheads I can't remember what thread I was in when I mentioned fiddleheads a while back, so I decided to post a follow-up even though they were cooked on the stove. Here's they first very small batch, harvested from the yard by my daughter who loves them - bit of butter, squirt of lemon ... Next year (they're not here very long), I'll substitute these for nettles in Frances' nettle pie recipe and bake it in the oven.      |

| Re: Fiddleheads Very interesting. How do they taste? Anything familiar to compare them to?

| Re: Fiddleheads Local asparagus (not the stuff trucked in from Chile) and fiddleheads are most welcome as sure signs of spring around here. Fiddleheads - Wild Harvest Gourmet - Recipes. Delicious One caution, though: taken in excess fiddleheads do have certain. ahem, emetic properties and may cause gastric as well as social distress

| Re: Fiddleheads More like Pepto-Bismol  But seriously, moderate consumption is fine. It's just that when the first ones appear some of us get a little overly enthusiastic

| Re: Fiddleheads Funny, I was looking through the Audubon Filed Guide to the Pacific NW today. It shows a fiddlehead being the new growth of a fern, the part that rolls out as it grows a new leaflet (for lack of a better term). Oyster mushroooms for me and now fiddleheads for you!? What a day. Are you eating ferns Sarah?

| Re: Fiddleheads Frances & George, they are ferns - embryonic ones - and as for the taste Dave ... not really like anything else yet kind of like most greens, in a way. Alfredo, some of those recipes look pretty good - for next year though. Gotta catch 'em quick because once they start to unfurl it's too late. The photo below shows them just a few days later. As for gastric distress, either I've been lucky up to now or I just don't eat enough of them! |

| Re: Fiddleheads Pffffffffft. Excuse my gas!  Sounds very spinachy - is that a word? Did you tell us that you liked them Sarah? I've forgotten. Perhaps you just like the gaseous emmisions!
