I don't claim to know everything but what little random information i gather i share with you fine folk.
Our backyards and local parks are an abundance of untapped respources that you could be walking by everyday!
Some of my favorites are collecting mushrooms, only when i am most certain of what they are, berries and fiddleheads!
Most people ive talked to arent familiar with fiddleheads. This surprised me because i live in washington which is has an excellent climate for ferns.
Fiddleheads are young ferns that havent uncoiled yet. They taste a lot like asparagus with a little bit of a peppery after taste. They are super easy to identify as good for eating. Queen annes lace fern is a delicate fern that bears the most tender fiddleheads. Just look under the bunch for fiddleheads that are tightly coiled.
Snap them off and wash em up! Make sure to remove the brown papery casing. Its not really tastey but definatly not harmful.
I saute them in olive oil and a little s&p. I can guarentee they would be great in anything you put asparagus in. Creamy seafood pasta anyone??
