Is the Lettuce of the woods Fiddlehead Fern? Or Fiddlehead Fern from the forest salad of the woods?
This is a fiddle fern harvested in its natural environment in the mountains from the province next to where I live.
These Black grapes have seeds and not much sweet compared to seedless grapes, so I had a bad batch, no wonder that they are cheap.
Ripe Mangoes really are so nice to eat everytime.

Yum! call it what you want but Fiddle ferns are quite sweetish to the taste, I enjoy it more than iceberg Lettuce or Cabbages of many variants because again, the taste of the Fiddle fern is unique and it has a relative crunch even if you blanch it with hot water which is the way we prepare it, blanching it and then putting it in ice water before serving it just as is or making a sald out of it. I guess that it can be a substitute for those Lettuce that are put in burgers and definitely a great alternative for green salads with salad variable salad dressings like vinegar, water, sugar and black pepper mix although it will kill the beautiful green color of the fern. However if a mayonnaise for example is used with not much string acid, the fiddle fern will retain its color.
For what I know, this is best prepared with some fish sauce, sliced red onions, salted egg bits, and ripe red tomatoes. It is then eaten as side dish with either broiled or fried fish or whatever you want to have it with some rice. But I today I had it with some fried Tilapia fish, Mango slice, and fermented rice with shrimp as the main flavor. The fern cuts back the savory taste of the pleasantly acidic yummy flavor of the fermented rice with shrimp side dish which has to be eaten with rice together with the fried fish in one bite. That is why if you have the acquired taste for the fermented rice with shrimp. then you can eat much of your rice meal especially if there is a Mango slice which is also pleasant to eat with the rice.
I downed them all with a mug of brewed black coffee and it is quite energizing because its funny that I was able to walk without much difficulty after I had gone from the bathroom after my lunch-dinner, but maybe because the coffee is really invigorating although I really have to control in consuming coffee so that I will not get some trouble in falling asleep. I just truly appreciate the mental stimulation of Caffeine because it literally makes us happy, close to giggly at times. However, if you had become so addicted to it and missed a cup or two in a day, then you will surely have headaches. The headaches however would slide away the moment you sipped some coffee again. But it doesn't happen to me anymore because although I drink coffee everyday, I can't say that I am addicted to it because caffeine withdrawal headache symptom doesn't happen to me anymore.
