What do they taste like?  I know fresh dandelions stems are bitter... I learned that real fast just from being a kid.

Dumb question but I gotta know.  Do you just cut the head off and fry them in vegetable oil?  How do you know when they are done?  Is there a time limit?  Any spices before or after frying?  Thanks for asking.  My kids will get a kick out of doing this.

When I was a kid my grandparents used to use dandelions in salads. They also used to fry up a weed we used to call elephant ears.

I also grew up with the dandilion salad with the hot vinegar and bacon dressing. This is made with just the greens of the plant before they start to bud a stem. If you wait till they bud they are to bitter.. I have never heard of beer battering the flowers though.. I will have to try this also..I may try it with the hot bacon and vinegar dressing as a dipping sauce..
