I always know that dandelion young leaves are edible, mildly bitter as a liver cleanser in spring time, very popular in southern Europe, and the flower can be used to make liqueur.
Recently I heard that the flower stalk are being eaten like noodle. Having a lot of this flower in the field, I can’t help my curiosity to collect a bunch and cook them. After boiling and rinsing for 3 times, they are still bitter, more bitter than bitter gourd. It is ok to eat a few pieces but definitely not delicious enough to eat like noodles!
