The message
from Emery Davis contains these words:

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

Cook young shoots with folded leaves lightly and serve (IMO) with melted
butter. Larger sprigs of YOUNG leaves, cook as spinach, or as a flavour
in stews, casseroles, etc.

They should only be eaten (allegedly) until the flowers appear.
