Grandma Frey used to eat dandelion greens. I can't remember if she picked them from the yard or bought them at the store. She would fry a little bacon, then add vinegar and sugar and pour it over to make a salad that only she would eat. Now I'm eating dandelion greens, and maybe it's thanks to Grandma that I love their bitter bite. They're $4 a bunch at Fresh Market -- all for me, because Clark said "No thanks" after the first try. I like them sautéed in olive oil and topped with Gorgonzola and croutons; or fried and then tipped out of the pan so I can fry an egg to go with it; or as a salad with garlicky dressing. Or just munched as a rabbit would like. Or Grandma.
