Howdy, 

  To the fella that asked about dandelions... 

I have had a few dandelion salads made by a friend of mine; he says there 
are some things to ensure best possible flavor... 

 -pick young, unblemished leaves, BEFORE the flower begins to form. 
 -make absolutely certain that the lawn you pick from has NOT been visited 
 by a weed control service, or treated in any way (fertilizers included) 

On a personnal note, I find dandelion greens mighty bitter, and tend to wonder 
about the flavor of a wine made with it. Does it really taste good, or is it 
a novelty thing?
