A couple of years ago I spent a couple of days with "Marty Terwilliger" (who is based on a real person, and a friend). We walked around center city and she must have stopped for conversation with six different people, from elected officials to a street vendor selling clothes. She really does know everyoneSheila Connollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05165644581595919711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309470395783938361.post-26299610780359139322016-05-21T08:39:42.235-04:002016-05-21T08:39:42.235-04:00All fiddleheads are ferns, but no all ferns have f...All fiddleheads are ferns, but no all ferns have fiddleheads? The picture here is of a cluster toward the back out our house. There are more in the front garden, but the heads look nothing like the fiddleheads. No, I haven't tried eating those! Or maybe I just missed the 15 minutes when they were still tightly curled.Sheila Connollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05165644581595919711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309470395783938361.post-68702138861426325282016-05-20T22:51:37.807-04:002016-05-20T22:51:37.807-04:00Oh, yeah, I looked them up.

A few years ago later in My we had snow at our cabin in Wisconsin. (Just trying to make you feel better about your snow.) Are those just regular ferns with their springtime heads? We had so many of them at our place in Wisconsin.<br />Elainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05763798679540499585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309470395783938361.post-18614580085667709192016-05-20T22:32:22.015-04:002016-05-20T22:32:22.015-04:00I remember a Canadian friend talked about harvesti...I remember a Canadian friend talked about harvesting fiddleheads and maybe called them something else. I never knew they were edible. I just love looking at them. Thanks for the recipe although I doubt you could find enough to make it down here.

The recipe sounds intriguing and makes me want to start scouting them now. With my luck I'd probably end up with poison ivy and no fiddleheads. lol!Robin Coxonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17297646643764438276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309470395783938361.post-67092569524869410802016-05-20T10:19:03.381-04:002016-05-20T10:19:03.381-04:00They are so cute!They are so cute!Leslie Budewitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11942314846112875042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309470395783938361.post-45085457242663175852016-05-20T09:33:17.212-04:002016-05-20T09:33:17.212-04:00True confessions--I have never tasted fiddlehead f...True confessions--I have never tasted fiddlehead ferns. <br />More truth?
