fiddleheads

fiddleheads are a delicious local treat. and there are only here for a short time, like maybe a month. my friend and native nutmegger, libby, introduced them to me a couple of years ago and now i stake out the local markets at the end of april/beginning of may looking for this rare treat. they taste like a mixture of asparagus and artichoke - two of my favorites.  we made them for the first time this season the other night (and by we i mean sam), and they were as good i remember.  if you're a local, check them out!
