Lol! I was missing a comma, I'm on my phone. What I was saying is I had venison meatloaf for lunch, the Swordfish looks much better. Now you see?  ;D

If I ate venison 5 nights a week I would buy stock in Ducolex. Just wondering about the other 2 nights? Quiche?

You build up a immunity to it. I ended the season with 165 lbs. deboned last year. It's about gone. The other two nights from here out will consist of striped bass and Flounder. Can't wait Til the garden starts producing

You must eat a lot of cheese and rough-age ;)

Fiddleheads should go through a hard boil before you do anything with them (except perhaps pickling?) ~ there are some nasty bacteria and pathogens that like to live on and around them.

I like to give fiddleheads a blanch before I do most other types of cooking with them to kill potential foodborne pathogens that could be present due to their prevalence to live in silty/sandy riparian zones.

There are so many things you can do with fiddleheads.  Here are some of them!

When you get a lot of them like this, there is room for experimentation.



Pickled.



Breakfast, in scrambled eggs.



More breakfast...with bacon and a cream sauce, on toast!



For lunch (or anytime), sauteed, boiled, or steamed on their own.



The classic brook trout with fiddleheads.

(Sorry, no pic, I eat that one too fast to get a picture)

Striper with ramps and fiddleheads (tonight's dinner)



With a side of fresh crappie and cold beer.



Fiddlehead Mac and Cheese



With some parmesan cheese, and a side of fried morels!



Quiche (extremely good).  My personal favorite.



And my other personal favorite:  salmon stuffed with fiddlehead stuffing.

Before cooking:



The finished product:



Gotta love fiddleheads (and everything else wild)!

WOW is right!

I don't remember you showing off these talents on the Maine Board  ;)

Quiche is my personal favorite as well.  Though the Mac & Cheese has my curiosity peaked to a feverish pitch!

I added blanched fiddleheads to a generic homemade mac and cheese recipe before I baked it (sort of like adding onions or anything else for that matter before baking).  Came out quite well actually, and I also added cooked fiddleheads to a homemade parmesan alfredo (that doesn't get baked) and that was good too although not as photogenic.

I think I posted a couple here and there, but probably not all at once!   8)  I'm definitely missing Maine and the abundance of fiddleheads...although I have found a few good patches here.  Plus, fiddleheading isn't as popular down this way, so nobody picks them!
