Going places 1/3

Reading up on some other names for strutbräken, I just learned that Matteuccia struthiopteris, the ostrich or fiddlehead fern, is not just edible but a delicious early veg. Unlike other kinds of ferns, it keeps its spores off its fronds -- instead gathering them in the center, like you can see here -- which makes them tasty. I shall definitely try cooking some come spring.
