Yes, it will soon be time for nettle soup. Our recipe comes from the American
"Joy of Cooking" -- which also has squirrel stew etc -- and isn't half bad.

The most interesting nettle concoction was eaten at a 2 ** restaurant in Caen,
nettle and camembert ice cream. This horrible sounding thing was actually
delicious!

Rusty, how to cook ground elder? Lor knows I've enough of it...
