I had to google. Turns out you can eat braken fiddleheads too and do in France. I really thought nothing ate braken as it was so poisonous. In UK I think people would be happy for there to be less of the bl**dy stuff about.
Things are underway in the Weldon Kitchen revamp.
Pictures on completion.
So far the flooring, countertops and sink are done.

Well, the best we can do around here at this time is fresh Sorrel:
Not quite in the curly frond league, but now going into a rather tasty soup!
So surprised to see some other culture cooking sorrel! I have fond memories of sorrel soup in my childhood. I thought it was an Easter Europe thing only.
Atriplex hortensis is another plant that soup was made of, in the country side of Romania and didn't see it used anywhere else.
Except for one year. 😉
Love fiddleheads but didn't find any this year. Good for you Cal! 🙂

My SO is Russian and brought the Sorrel expertise with her. I know of no other Brits who harvest it, which is fine by us! 😀

That explains it. 🙂 Sorrel is good in salads too. Always fun to find it in the fields as kids and chew on it, nice sour taste.
All work and no food makes Jacco a horrible chunt
Our first week in the new place, this is a 5 min walk across the river. The marinated hen of the woods and squid ink gemelli were quite passable. The Thai restaurant around the corner is another matter but the Vietnamese community down the street makes up for it.
Dinner Menu ? Steel & Rye

I'd hafta try those Maine mussels mmmm Chorizo in that mix-up might be a nod to a NE clam bake.

Happy enough that some folks care a little about what they are doing. With restaurants half the problem is the audience.

Is it not more efficient to be the mountain
