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 (snip) Recipe taken from Wild Foods, by Roger Phillips. Try with caution, folks: I did, and I & my mum & sister thought it truly revolting. Even the dogs refused it. YMMV. If you fancy munching weeds/wildflowers, I do recommend ground elder and ramsons - both can be used as a pizza topping or cooked in butter, and much nicer than nettles. Victoria |
