Foraging for fiddleheads (AKA ostrich fern fronds) is one of my favourite Rites of Spring. Yum!

They're the first green food available locally. Steam them and add some vinegar and butter, or just grill 'em. These ones are still raw.

Just don't eat the wrong type of fern, or too many, or eat them when they're too old, or too often, or they'll be toxic....
