Sometime in the 1970s I came home to Central NY from Santa Barbara, CA, with my at the time boyfriend, Dana. One of the Colgate professors my Mother worked for invited us to dinner at her farm house in Hubbardsville. Among other things she served fiddlehead ferns. I did not take any and my Mother admonished me severely. I replied that I was sorry but I just didn't like green vegetables. Well, that has changed.I now look forward to this harbinger of spring. Many recommend par boiling them first - apparently they can carry bacteria of sorts - but I have only done this once and I've not had a problem. I wash them thoroughly and then saute them in olive oil with minced garlic. I wish I had eaten them so many years ago......
