Default Cat tails question

The message
from (simy1) contains these words:

I understand they are
edible, even the pollen is used in some dishes.


They are actually quite good. The female cob, of course, around July,
and the inner shoot around May. Both are delicacies. I do not
understand why they are not sold commercially. Usually wild edibles
are too strong-flavored for commercial use, but not these. Perhaps
they are too perishable?


How do you prepare and eat them please?
