    Very observant. Maybe people will chime in and talk about fiddleheads in general and post a recipe or two, and to make this a proper recipe post I generally just par boil, then cook in butter a garlic, k.

    what's a fiddlehead?

    In my part of the woods, there called ostrich ferns. Basically they're a fern in infancy, before they unravel and grow up.

    They are refering to Fiddlehead Ferns, they are the uncurled new growth that are eaten in the upper northeastern "mostly". They can be bought but like ramps and morles are fun to gather in the woods. Hope that helps =)

    They are called that because the look like the curl on the head of a violin/fiddle =)
