It's fiddlehead season! Do you have these in your country?
The average American will have no idea what these are. They're fairly common in Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont, and I think also Alaska? A few other states probably have them too (Minnesota wouldn't surprise me). They're the shoots of young ostrich ferns before they unfurl and they're my favorite vegetable on earth. They taste kind of like a cross between broccoli and asparagus but with an easy to eat bite-sized form factor. They're only available for a few weeks in the spring and it's easy to go forage for them along riverbanks.
I'm curious if these are picked in other parts of the world too?
