They are toxic then, but I didn't know about the cooking for a long time. I know my mother in law (nothern Maine-Van Buren) boiled them three times with salt pork, and I do the same. A great woodsy taste, $3.99 this year, last year $5.99.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21443797.post-58965835938363238652007-06-11T19:41:00.000-04:002007-06-11T19:41:00.000-04:00I just got dandelion greens in the can from WS Wel...I just got dandelion greens in the can from WS Wells and Son it says you can write them for recipes.

I liked it so much I used to walk all the day down to the shop for lunch just for it. Fabulous! By the way, envying the grill!

DO NOT EAT RAW! on them if they were that toxic. They LOOK like they should be eaten raw, which doesn't help.<BR/><BR/>They taste best RIGHT after being cooked with some butter and salt and pepper. Looking at your sauteed fiddleheads, I wonder about throwing them on the grill after par-boiling - could be good!<BR/><BR/>Sher - definitely give them a shot, they are fun to eat.

In fact, I've never seen them until I moved to New England, but now I look forward to them every spring.<BR/><BR/>I am not so sure about them being toxic. I believe that some ferns are toxic and if you pick them yourself and are not sure about variety, it's important to cook them through, but the stuff you buy at whole foods is fine. They'd never take a chance and sell something that might make people sick if improperly handled without 20 million warnings.<BR/><BR/>Cheers,<BR/>-HelenHelenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12271344371852988017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21443797.post-1147964593811517772006-05-18T11:03:00.000-04:002006-05-18T11:03:00.000-04:00Hey, Jaye... fiddleheads are really unique, but t...Hey, Jaye... fiddleheads are really unique, but they can be loosely described as the cross between asparagus and mushrooms - both in flavor and texture.<BR/><BR/>$3.99/lb. right now is a good price, too.
