    Duckegg,
    Thanks! I miss Fiddleheads sooooo much. Living in South Carolina and not a Fiddlehead to be found. The ferns in my shade garden are two feet high in the middle of the winter....or so it seems. Sauted with a bit of butter....salt and pepper....can't ask for anything better.....well, maybe another sweep this weekend of the Yankees! But, alas........2 out of three is still mighty fine.

    fishlessman,
    I picked them right out of my own backyard. Most convienient. We like them a lot but I guess they are not for everybody. If not cooked properly they can give you a great opportunity to catch up on your reading.[p]I have seen them in supermarkets in central in small expensive packages.

    duckegg,
    could you get me a closup pic of them in the ground, i want to find the right ones and it would be good to know what to look for. i get them at an agway for a couple bucks a pound, when they start popping up, 3 weeks and the seasons over til next year. planted some last year and havent seen any start to come up yet, they may not like the clay in my dirt. i would like to see what they look like before cleaning

    fishlessman,
    That potfull is uncleaned just as they were cut, cleaning them up is a pain, soak and rinse, soak and rinse. They should be blanched before cooking. It's a lot of work but they are tasty little dudes. I am told they freeze well. Will send pic. The clay shouldn't bother them too much. Mine grow 5-6ft. high in the same type of dirt.
