Fiddleheads


Walking through the market area of Ottawa I was met with quite an interesting sight. The vegetable matter in the photo is known as 'fiddleheads', basically the new growth from ferns. Their season is very short, only two weeks in length. You cook it in a similar manner to asparagus, and serve with butter and cracked pepper. I have just spotted it in my local supermarket, so maybe I'll give it a go. I am imagining that its' texture would be a little unique. Will report back shortly!
