Re: Breakfast Choices
Precisely. I've just been chopping them out of the garden wall.
Asparagus, a different story. Had my first batch of new season last week and keep reminding myself to get another batch soon. Prepared with bacon as it happened.
Wikipedia notes: Like other ferns, brackens do not have seeds or fruits, but the immature fronds, known as fiddleheads, are sometimes eaten, although some are thought to be carcinogenic. (see Poisoning)

But there again so is the bacon! It looks like it is carcinogenic when eaten raw but ptalquiloside, the chemical in question when cooked, denatures and the food is then safe...it has put me off a little 
. I agree, love fresh asparagus and thankfully my pee smells sweet! I remember roadside stalls in Norfolk around this time of year

Re: Breakfast Choices
A bowl of some sort of lumpy sludge, probably something HID got from cleaning out the u-bend under the kitchen sink. The little strawberry on top did not make it much more appealing.

First winter porridge this morning. But I didn't make a wheel with it.
