  There’s a nettle eating championship in Dorset England.

  There was apparently a new record set this year.

  Ms Hodges, who travelled from Wales, said she was surprised and happy to have won again, although her hands were still painful. “My voice is also an octave or two deeper and I’m a bit huskier,” she said. "I did really sting the inside of my mouth and your tongue goes a really funny colour but I was concentrating more on the pain in my hands, so I probably forgot about my mouth. “The dryness is the tricky thing, and chewing them. I think it depends what the weather has been doing - this year they have been a bit hard to chew.”

      Don’t worry they have plenty of cider to help it go down

  Nettles are easily removed of their stinging property by drying or cooking. Light streaming even does it

    I blanch it and use it as a spinach substitute

    So you’re saying if I combine raw milk with raw nettles I’ll be a god?

      You need more rawness but you are close

    What kind of streams work best? Gaming streams? Just chatting?

      Hot streams mostly. So hot it’s boiling. If I would be more specific I would say steam streams.

    Nettle tea is also really good for swelling and chronic pain, at least according to my grandfather and his friends that have used it. My grandpa did go to medical school so I tend to trust him, but it was also in the 60s and he calls tattooing and piercings “psychosomatic self flagellation” so take it for what you will.

      They are super high in vitamins and minerals. Most wild foraged and grown herbs have more vitamins and minerals per oz than even cultivated super foods like spinach. You can even get most from brewing it in a tea

  The chinese nettle is also the same plant that makes ramie fabric, which is like linen, but more durable. It’s been around for thousands of years, which I think is cool.

    Clothes were made from nettles in medieval europe. And paper from old clothes.

    Wait, was it nettles or old clothes that were considered critical ressource (for administration) and trading restricted?

  They’re also delicious. One of my favorite spring greens back in Europe. Can’t buy them in the US though.

    They are an invasive weed and are everywhere in the pacific northwest

      They’re invasive here too in the UK. Some people are just clever/nuts enough to eat that invasive plant.
