Did you eat the flower garnish? <BR/><BR/>I was a little surprised to see that you use chicken stock rather than vegetable stock for the soup - not that there's anything wrong with chicken stock! <BR/><BR/>I must say that I haven't noticed dandelion greens at the vegetable market recently - but then we've suddenly become enamored with collard greens. And spring has only barely arrived here. There are very few green things growing so far.<BR/><BR/>Glenna, dandelion greens really are pretty good. Just make sure that they're young rather than old. Also ensure that they haven't been sprayed with chemicals (ie: don't eat dandelion greens picked from the side of the road). The older leaves tend to be quite bitter and tough. <BR/><BR/>-Elizabeth<BR/><BR/>P.S. Many thanks for linking to our recipe for Indian-style dandelion greens.<BR/>P.P.S. I gather that the "pisenlit" name comes because dandelion is used as a dieretic.Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08818302133113874649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11944565.post-2310029487882327522007-04-18T10:46:00.000-05:002007-04-18T10:46:00.000-05:00Just for the record - "pisenlit" means wet the bed...Just for the record - "pisenlit" means wet the bed :0)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11944565.post-55061112859332105732007-04-18T07:20:00.000-05:002007-04-18T07:20:00.000-05:00Very nice!
