Has anyone actually ate a nettle?????!


Question:

Has anyone actually ate a nettle?????

saw the championship nettle eating competition,on t.v.
i think the guy who won it actually ate 48 ft of stinging nettles.
have these people got a screw loose or what. if anyones ate one, does it sting as much in your mouth,as much as it does on your leg or arm?

Yes I have, but only in the very early spring then they do not hurt you. People say here in Germany they are very healthy. Make a salad of them with vinegar,oil, salt and pepper.

I have to say i never actually just picked up a nettle & eaten it but i have tasted nettle soup & nettle wine.
