Fiddle Heads

[grapple]

While out Morel hunting today I found some what I think are fiddle heads. Can someone tell me if what I found is a fiddle head or is it some other kind of fern that also is curled up and how do I cook them. If they aren't fiddle head ferns am I gonna die!!!!

"FiddleHead" is a name given to several types of Young ferns before they uncurl.

Hmmmm... Not sure if I want to try it. They look tasty but hmm there does seem to be some risk to them.

I feed some to my dog and she didn't die after 30mins. Now I gave some to my son. He said they tasted good. Still waiting to see if there are any long term affects.

Just kidding.... I wouldn't test a food on my dog.

Fed them to the dog................!!!!!!!!!! Are you crazy? You always feed stuff like that to the kids first, it is really hard to find a good dog.

Besides you can have another kid in less than a yr if things go wrong....................LMAO.

Only wrong if the dog dies...

just blanch them twice like you would poke salad greens.
