Historic

The tips of the unfurled fronds of young ferns have been plain-boiled and eaten like asparagus, known from 'Food in England' by Dorothy Hartley (Hartley 1954). This practice is now rare or extinct in England, but commonplace in Canada and New England where they are known as 'fiddleheads'.
