When my father brother & I would go spring  turkey hunting my brother & I would come out at noon & tell of or show off our turkey stories. My  70 yr. old father would empty his game bag full of leeks & say he had a great am. smileing from ear to ear. another successful hunt ! Once he had a sparrow cupped in his hand petting it on its head. lol.  I miss that old man.

Whats a fiddle head?

A Fiddlehead is Delicious!!!

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

  Fiddleheads or Fiddlehead greens are the unfurled fronds of a young fern,[1] harvested for use as a vegetable. Left on the plant, each fiddlehead would unroll into a new frond (circinate vernation). As fiddleheads are harvested early in the black season before the frond has opened and reached its full height, they are cut fairly close to the ground.

Fiddleheads have antioxidant activity, are a source of Omega 3 and Omega 6, and are high in iron and fibre.[2] The fiddlehead resembles the curled ornamentation (called a scroll) on the end of a stringed instrument, such as a violin. It is also called a crozier, after the curved staff used by bishops, which has its origins in the shepherd's crook.

fiddle heads are the unfurrowed new shoots of particular woodland/wetland fern you cook them and eat them like asparagus...which is what they taste like......

Cardones are young springtime stems of the burdock plant....you parboil in to water baths ...then egg wash .....roll in bread crumbs and grated cheese and fry......

NO!  I don't eat balls off from any plant or animal (although I like my wife's meatballs  8)  ).

Are you telling us that you like the meatballs that your wife cooks, or some other sort of meaty balls that she might have?  LOL

Golly gee...  ???  Oh my... WHY YES!!!  :-\

Well now I am really hingry...lol.

How about puffballs? anyone eat those?

I have eaten puffballs... if you get them when they are really meaty and not spored out yet they are a HUGE mushroom.. I fry them in olive oil and garlic (go figure) and season with salt and pepper. I'm not crazy about them but once in a while they're okay.

Pat, perhaps you are confusing, allium tricocum(wild leek also known as ramps) which are legal to pick and have even been featured in the dec magazine the conservationist with the allium burdickii (a wild leek as well but more commonly known as narrow leaf leek) which are protected.
