But it's like the cardone (<i>gar-doo-na'</i>, as we heard it) -- it's comforting to know that, come the total breakdown of the entire eco-social system, I can still conjure a meal by going out and picking some fiddleheads.Sisiggyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12187439975974001825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19248290.post-9366066025051118672010-05-23T19:01:08.000-04:002010-05-23T19:01:08.000-04:00We had THOSE in Jersey???!!!

The VS people have a garden visible from the road with some decorative ferns. Some nasty woman in an SUV stopped and helped herself to their ferns. Even when confronted by them, nicely, she persisted. Even when they told her they weren't fiddlehead ferns and weren't edible, she persisted. The title of the post was something like "I hope she doesn't eat them." Personally I hope she does and gets a 3-day bout of diarrhea. Honestly, uprooting and stealing someone's plants!<br /><br />I've tried fiddlehead ferns. And, you're right, meh. They're just sort of there.Ari_1965https://www.blogger.com/profile/08417052454179392190noreply@blogger.com
