Guest guest Posted September 9, 2006 Report Share Posted September 9, 2006 They really are very good, unfortunately you will only see them (if at all) in the stores for about a week. I steam them and just dress them with butter, S & P, maybe lemon juice if I have lemons. I used to work in a produce store when I was a teen, so I was exposed to " unusual " stuff. It was pretty cool actually.
