what do you want nettles for?  
It's quite funny that a lot of plants look just like stinging nettles actually and dont sting at all ... interesting how they've evolved that way  x |

Hi, I have eaten nettles many years ago at my mates house with Sunday lunch. A bit like spinach as I recall. |

That sounds really horrible badger. Were they raw  or boiled, fried or something? I know people can make nettle soup but it is something that really does not appeal to me, having had quite a few bad experience with stinging nettles in the past |

Thanx 4 that ladybirdluva. They were cooked. They're a very good healing herb. I think I used older leaves,that's all. Even the sting has long-term pain killing properties, empirically researched... |
