I recently read that the UK is releasing some kind of healthy to eradicate this invasive albeit very healthy plant- as well as a good source of wood stove starter when they get dry!

Anybody picked dandelions yet? I have. I tossed a couple uncooked dandelion leaves in a salad with vinegar and mustard and gathered a great many to be cooked similar to spinach. The brand new ones that are coming up now are not as bitter as they get later in the season. I only had to briefly and gently boil them and rinsed them once. If they boil too long the delicate leaves can break up. Later in the season, when they are more bitter, I have to repeat the boil rinse process 2 or 3 times. Anybody have any good recipes for wild edibles Wish you'd post them here as well as any other freeshares.
I revamped this recipe to make it vegetarian the last couple of years which my son and his girlfriend as well as my self loved. http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Doras-Dandelions/Detail.aspx
