Yes, they are good - they're a lot more tasty and substantial than some of the other leaves offered as a 'spinach substitute'. But your finger pads feel a bit strange after you've picked a pound or so. From a post in 1999.. Nettle Soup 1 large onion, 1 clove garlic 2 potatoes 2 large handfuls nettle tops, washed! olive oil, salt, pepper Pint and a half stock quarter pint single cream Peel & chop onions, garlic and potatoes, fry for 3 to 4 minutes in olive oil. Trim away stems from nettle tops, add to pan, add stock. Boil rapidly for 15 minutes or until potatoes are cooked. Liquidize to suit, reheat, season, stir in cream when serving. For the stock, use either a vegetable stock or a light chicken stock. If anyone needs a vegetable stock recipe, I have one of those too. This'll serve three or four people - you can adjust the quantities as you wish. Recipe taken from Wild Foods, by Roger Phillips. Pan Books, isbn 0-330-28069-4 Highly recommended folks, lots of curious recipes - such as Broom bud salad etc!!
