Have you ever had
Fiddlehead Ferns? They are a delicious vegetable, only available in Spring, in the North East.
Many years ago, we had them, at a French Restaurant. And since then, we look for them, in the Spring.
"If you haven’t eaten fiddleheads before, many describe the flavor as
sweet like spinach, vegetal like artichoke, crisp like a waxy green
bean, and kind of nutty like a mushroom. Basically, all the good tastes
of vegetables furled into one." And here is a bit of lore, about them. 😉
"Did your mom ever tell you to eat your vegetables so you’d grow big and
strong? Bet she never promised invisibility. In Europe’s Middle Ages,
people believed that carrying “fern seed” would make you disappear from
sight. Shakespeare even referenced these magical powers in Henry IV!
While we can't vouch for super powers, we can affirm that ferns are to
thank for a fleeting spring treat." At this Net Site, you can get lots of information about them. And especially, How To Cook Them.

Oh dear. I mean, fascinating! I would like to try these just once, but only if you had prepared them for me. They are so mysterious looking! xoxo
Holy cow, what amazing facts. I know what they are, but didn't know they are edible. Where on earth could you buy or find them?
I have grown them. I did not know they were edible. Interesting
No but I like to read about things people eat in nature...sometimes to survive! Thanks for the link! Happy Monday!
I have never had them but have always wanted to try them.
I love fiddleheads though I have never picked them myself.
I've never eaten them but see them growing around here every year.
I've heard of them, but never had them. They are cool just to look at!
First time I have heard of fiddleheads. Now I'll have to do some researching about them. They do sound differently good!
betty
I have never eaten a fiddlehead, I have heard of them, but I have not eaten any. ;-)
