Natures Asparagus - Fiddle Heads

[Cariboo5]

That time of year up here, went and picked some fiddle heads....

Interesting. What do they taste like... real asparagus?

Great question ArfieBoy.. What we do is boil them for about 3-5 minutes, drain and boil again for 3 minutes mainly to get the Tannins out (tannins will upset the stomach). Then fry them with garlic & butter for a few minutes and yes they have a good taste on their own like the light taste of asparagus...

Detecting in the woods once.
Came across a healthy patch of Fiddle heads.
I was hungry, ate 6 nice size ones.
It was a great spring cleanse I will just say that.
