    I recall, back to 1980, when I collected dandelions from the meadow by the house and made wine. Ugh. Bitter. I also recall my father tasting it and adding sugar to the mix. I don't think the sugar helped. I reminded him of it the other day and he said "I did not"... so, the memory ends here. Cheers!

    Can't wait to try them.

    Who knew you could cook Dandelions? Sounds interesting, but I'm not sure that is my cup of tea. Thanks for the interesting lens though.

    I love dandelions, but didn't know they were edible.

    I use to pick Dandelions when I was little, but I didn't know you could eat them. Great lens.

    Good eatin'!

    Dandelion salad is still very popular in our country. Unfortunately every year is harder to find unpolluted herbs. I heard about dandelion wine too, but never had a chance to try it.

    Never heard of Dandelion recipes before, I thought you couldn't eat them... Interesting lens~

    I'm excited to try some of these Dandelion recipes! I once made Dandelion wine with my gandfather - I'm not a wine drinker myself but everyone else seemed to get a kick out of it.

    I didn't know that you could eat dandelions. My rabbit loves them, but I'd never considered them as part of a salad. What about Dandelion and Burdock in the drinks section?

    Great lens. I actually sell French dandelion seeds :D.
  • OrganicMom247 Oct 5, 2011 @ 4:41 am | delete
    Great ideas on the use of dandelions. Ill be sure to give them a try in soup.
  • daria369 Oct 3, 2011 @ 7:11 pm | delete
    Excellent lens, thank you for sharing more ways to use dandelions! :)

    When I was little, I loved my grandmother, but hated her creamed dandelion. She would go out in the big back yard, pick them, prepare them, and make the dish. My tastes have evolved since then, and I wish she were here to make it for me. This has inspired me to try making it myself. Thanks!

    I love dandelions and it is so sensible to use them as food when they are so prolific. Blessed by a squid angel.

    Heading to a vacant lawn soon to get started sampling the delicacy called dandelion. thanks for sharing

    Helpful... Thank you...

    Neat! I'd always heard that you could eat all parts of the dandelion, but never seen actual recipes. Thanks for an really interesting lens! :)

    How exotic for a common plant. I must try them these lions teeth...dents de lion

    My mother often cooked with dandelions. That is, she used the greens in salads and made wine from the yellow flower part.
  • emmalarkins Sep 8, 2010 @ 2:20 pm | delete
    I first thought the greens a bit bitter, but they've grown on me. Plus they're super healthy!

    I am just starting to learn about the benefits of dandelions. Great lens. Blessed by an Angel.

    Awesome! I have my favorite use for dandelions, but now I have a bunch of new ideas. Thank you!
  • OhMe Feb 2, 2010 @ 8:56 pm | delete
    Oh me! This is so interesting. I have never cooked with Dandelions but would like to feature this lens on my Dandelion lens when I get it published.
  • jgelien Jan 29, 2010 @ 2:09 pm | delete
    I never knew you could cook with them. I need to try that. Heaven knows I have plenty of them in my yard. Neat lens.

    Hi! You've been added to the "Squidoo lenses on edible wild plants" lens.

    Dandelion greens, first thing in the springtime, are delicious. Thanks for all the leads to dandelion cooking sites.
  • PeacefulWmn9 Jul 3, 2009 @ 12:19 am | delete
    I can remember picking dandelion greens as a young child. Both of my parents knew how to cook and season them very well. They were yummy!
  • dannystaple Apr 7, 2009 @ 3:28 am | delete
    I remember dandelion greens are a little like rocket. Dandelion petals were really bitter though. I have not eaten them in years - but perhaps we can make use of them.
  • CherylK Jun 23, 2008 @ 8:22 pm | delete
    I remember my grandmother serving dandelion greens. They were really GOOD! I certainly enjoyed this lens...brought back some good memories.
  • OrganicGiftsByDiana May 27, 2008 @ 9:05 am | delete
    Oh yes, such a useful and tasty "weed".
  • heipet May 19, 2008 @ 5:31 pm | delete
    Wilted dandelion greens , red onion , thinly sliced avocado , and sweet purple grapes make a marvelous salad. Found this at Bea Kunz' blog!

    Hello!
    Nice lens!! I like the dandelion photos!
  • Euryale Apr 1, 2008 @ 11:56 pm | delete
    We've got several big patches where I encourage them, but in other areas of the yard, we weed them to keep them out of the veggies.
  • KimGiancaterino Apr 1, 2008 @ 8:51 pm | delete
    I love this lens! We no longer have a lawn or dandelions, but I'm sure I can get some from my neighbors.
