"Also Nettles are nice boiled has a vegtable side dish"

Yes, this I can vouch for (though the Pink Nettle Tea, sound like definitely one to do!) as my awld fella used to do the Richard Maybe thing and loved to gather Nettles to stir fry and bung in rice etceteras.

One day (so my Mam told me) the lads didn't cook 'em well enough though, and ended up with black stung tongues, stuck out all day, till the stinging cooled off! So be warned!
