Well we finally took the plunge, the stinging nettle plunge that is . Cooked stinging nettle looks some what like spinach, tastes somewhat like spinach but not really, sort of hard to discribe actually. Next time we will have to try the dandelions. One word of advice, next time I pick stining nettles I will remember to where gloves. The ends of two of my fingers have a couple of pricky reminders of our supper.
