Leave it to the Brits to come up with this!!! Too funny. I can't imagine eating these babies raw. Another point about stinging nettles...while researching this I came upon a note that stinging nettles repel flies. We live in the country and we have two windows in our garage that are a flurry of fly buzzing all summer and especially in the fall when our darling cluster flies are everywhere. I hung my harvested nettles in the garage to dry. I can't believe it, we have not had one fly in our garage!!! Apparently they do not like the smell of the nettles. I am going to hang bunches of them around the house in the fall and see what happens. I love it!!! That is crazy. Leave it to the Brits to come up with this!!! Too funny.

Check to see if there are any herb fairs in your area. If you do find some be careful where you plant them, they can be very invasive. Good luck.
