You might and that is a big, big might, find some frozen fiddleheads but I'd say it's unlikely in Red Deer or anywhere else in western Canada for that matter. Hear ya go some Facts on Fiddleheads. Cheers Steve |

Re: Fiddleheads
Thanks all!
Hangman - thanks for the link, Koogar - TRUST YOU :rolleyes: Has anyone actually tried these - are they worth the effort next spring? |
Re: Fiddleheads
you can still get 'em out now, but yeah, bit out of season...they taste pretty nasty though, well an acquired taste I guess...and the pickled or canned stuff tastes even worse.
best thing to do with them apparently is blanche in hot water for a min or two and then drop into a hot pan with melted butter for a couple mins, served with more butter, salt and pepper...and then a bucket to vomit into... |
Re: Fiddleheads
I quite like fiddleheads, but I think there are more people who dislike than like them. Bob's cooking directions are pretty much correct, though I like to add a few drops of lemon juice to them as well. They have a somewhat bitter taste. It's worth trying them at least once, I'd say. Get the smaller ones that are still tightly curled - once they start to uncurl the bitter taste becomes more pronounced.

If there are any Newfy grocery stores in your area I would check with them to see if they have frozen ones. Good luck |
