I used to use dandelion flowers as make up and headbands. Does that count as a use?Saschahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15862459661617118205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-333411191742157651.post-82832531140650954342013-01-09T05:45:22.759-07:002013-01-09T05:45:22.759-07:00Dandelion is a Newfoundland vegetable staple.

Particularly where green things are concerned. As a kid, I wouldn't let them touch my plate, but my grandparents used to boil the greens (like Kale or Chard or something) and have them with Sunday dinner. god knows we have enough of them in this part of the world - perhaps they should go on my list of local veg? Best in the spring, when the shoots are young, in case anyone was interested! Love to you all!<br /><br />m.maria.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00407556534354452338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-333411191742157651.post-8985389411688563812013-01-08T14:59:20.999-07:002013-01-08T14:59:20.999-07:00I'd eat that!!! :)

Although my real goal was to get enough to roast, and then it tastes coffee-like...delish! Anyways, I wonder if you can dry this root? wonder what that would taste like...dandelion root has a bunch of 'good-for-you' properties, I wonder....Alanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12973710495023457991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-333411191742157651.post-17708255510919139622013-01-07T15:51:16.229-07:002013-01-07T15:51:16.229-07:00Amazing!

Also...with a name like salsify, one is inclined to believe that it could be a good ingredient in salsa...non?!?<br /><br />I love the cooking challenges Kim...and one of these days really must get back to the kitchen and beyond my staples. Creativity is at an all time low around these parts - at least where I'm concerned. Looking forward to having you around for a few weeks to light that fire :)Linneahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10444082172307339875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-333411191742157651.post-127078679486006312013-01-06T19:01:54.486-07:002013-01-06T19:01:54.486-07:00Salsify, huh?

I also searched it in Pinterest. There are salsify postings from here to kingdom come! And, relatively non-repetitive. I have to say, I was slightly put off by the description of an oyster-y tasting vegetable. :)Saschahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15862459661617118205noreply@blogger.com
