Guest guest Posted May 17, 2004 Report Share Posted May 17, 2004 Yeah, I saw them last week. Bit pricy though. More expensive than asparagus - but I must admit, the flavor's better. Any SBD friendly recipes besides just boiling them and eating with a bit of olive oil? Sad to report that I was too late in my wild leek picking. (That's ramps to you southern people!) Oh, well, the local rhubarb will soon be on us - can't wait!!! > BTW the FIDDLEHEADS are in the grocery stores now!! YUMMY!!! > YUMMY!!

Guest guest Posted May 17, 2004 Report Share Posted May 17, 2004 - there is a very good asparugus recipe in the new SBD cookbook. I'm not an aspargus fan, but my DH is. He agreed to eat some salmon (not his favorite) if I would make the aspargus. Well, it was wonderful!!! It's the Seasame Ginger Aspargus. Pg 149. I liked it so much, I'm going to try the aspargus goat cheese omlet too. The Sesame Ginger Aspargus is a phase one side dish. Elona Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok you guys are driving me nuts-- I would so love to try some fiddleheads and ramps but living in the desert I can not get them. Some day I will get to the south and try some. gin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 21, 2004 Report Share Posted May 21, 2004 You certainly don't have to go south for fiddleheads. They're found in many Canadian provinces. According to the Canadian Foods Inspection Agency " Fiddleheads are the curled, edible shoots of the Ostrich Fern; they are collected in the wild (or now grown commercially - mine) and sold as a seasonal vegetable in stores or outdoor markets. " AFAIK they should be found throughout the US, certainly the northern half. The taste is much like asparagus but distinct and more delicate and can be used interchangeably in recipes. I don't know about gross - I think they're more attractive than asparagus. In Ontario we're home to one of the largest NA commercial growers, Nor-Cliff Farms. Check out http://www.norcliff.com/ for more info. Ad for wild leeks (or ramps) they're also common to much of the Eastern US. They're not grown commercially in Canada (AFAIK) but there are farms in the US including one, I think, in Michigan. > > > Alright I have been hearing soooo much about fiddleheads, I just have to know what ARE they? Someone from work said they were some sort of fern that you can eat? Gross! I am up here in the north, and have very rarely gone south, go please inlighten me.
