  They're very common in oak-maple forests where I live and at least sometimes in the sugar maple forests further north. Posted 6 years ago

      I like to eat the tender new leaves on toast with a little melted cheese. Really good! Posted 6 years ago

        That sounds so good. I'll have to try it! They are also good when chopped and added to bread, pizza, and pasta dough. Or, used to make pesto and then used to make twisted breadsticks. Some people make savory jam with the bulbs, but I've never tried that. Posted 6 years ago
