The one in Maine is the Ostrich fern, which has not been linked to stomach cancer. Enjoy! manju,

Enjoy!

In Japan they are called Warabi. We tried them in Hawaii but they didn't do a lot for me either. You can find them pickled in most Japanese and Korean markets where they are labelled "Fernbracken" in English (what an appetizing name!). There are several studies being done in Japan about links between "pickled fernbracken" and stomach cancer because there are higher incidences of that cancer there than in other parts of the world. But it might be the pickling, and not the fiddlehead itself that causes the cancer. Plus people there eat a lot of fiddleheads all year round. Great post! Looking forward to learning more about Maine delicacies and seeing those eggs hatch, too! These are very popular in Asia, too. In Japan they are called Warabi.

You don't say which part of Maine that you are from but I try to write about various area's so hopefully, I will touch on your hometown some day. Glad that you like the site, Kevin.

My wife and I are Mainers that had to leave due to my job. We are home sick most of the time and your site is great, although it has made me more homesick for Maine.
