*raises hand* I like Trout Lily leaves... :-) That being said, I only eat a few leaves here and there. The corms are delicious, but for convenience, the above-ground runners at the end of the season are my favorite. They have a bean-sprout consistency (nice and crunchy). Have you had those? If so, how does the flavor compare (for you)?
