Fiddleheads---a Springtime Treat!

[AHappychick]

I love fiddle heads I first had them in Maine when I was at school. find them now every season and cook them the same way as my asparagus, with garlic and butter and white wine

delish!!!

Fascinating!!! What do they taste like? I have been curious about them for years------ever since I saw them on an episode of the Frugal Gourmet.

They taste like a mild spinach, but not. Very hard to explain. If young enough, no bitter taste, but the older they get, the more bitter they can be. I love them! I try to buy in bulk from someone local, I eat as many of the I as can fresh , then balance and freeze even more.
