True? Next spring, I'll be hunting for them! I know we've got them here in the U.P. (Michigan's upper peninsula), but in the sringtime I'm never sure which fiddleheads are the good ones.

In those countries these are never eaten immediately. :) In other countries, fiddleheads are steamed in water and get sun dried over two days or so.

Jeepers! They're expensive. But I have a great memory of eating them up in Vermont years ago, so whenever I see them, I try to reproduce that experience. Haven't done it yet.

Katiebee: That's the preparation used when I was introduced to these lovelies 20 years ago in Maine. I've been ISO since and occasionally am rewarded. Like right now- The Mr. found some at the Eugene OR Trader Joes and I couldn't wait long enough to blanch and freeze. Yum, indeed! 29. Katiebee:
