Maybe you need to make up a sheet that talks about it:
1) It is a
native food.
2) Of all the greens, picky eaters prefer nettles.
3) How about taking a nettle dish to the restaurants and giving them a taste.
4) I
think it could be used (by a restaurant) as a publicity tool - have the restaurant offer a reporter a
free sample to try it.
5) I think you
should make a sheet that explains all sorts of interesting things about nettles and hand that out with the nettles.
6) An excellent thing to put in CSA boxes.
C'mon folks, that's six. Let's see if we can collectively get to 12!
