Hey, Grandpa, what's for supper ?

Thanks but no thanks Dave.

I'm not much on homeopathic cures and am even less inclined to ingest weeds.

The kids and I actually like dandelions. Tasty! We turn the leaves into poor man's pesto.

I remember the fad popping up in the 80's of picking the dandelion blooms and rinsing them real well, soaking in salt water, and battering like you would a morrel. Pan fried dandelion blooms taste like delicious batter, and well.... dandelion.
Lol
We decided we would stick with morrels. It was just the idea of a yard full of yellow-golden blooms vs. finding 2 or 3 morrels.

The only ones I know for sure that like fresh, green dandelion leaves, @greybeard, are my rabbits! Haha

I'll leave that kind of stuff for the hippies or new age whatever they call themselves nowadays.

Euell Gibbons, the great natural food advocate, would like it I'm sure, but he kicked the bucket at age 64.

And I never thought they tasted like nuts or grapes!

 

[RollingAcres]

I've never had Grape Nuts before. I'm not really a cereal fan and especially not healthy cereal.

That looks.... inedible.

To the contrary, they are quite good.
Gave gave several lbs away to the neighbors and they are asking for more.
I've had too many for us to eat but really not enough for me to bother getting out to pressure or water bath canner for.
The excess rain we received last week has resulted in a lot of leaf curl so I don't know how much longer they will be producing.
