Eating a 15 ft nettle!?!? Don't think that's something that'll be cropping into our menu's any time soon

Blimey, that stalk would be tough going.

They do now, but didn't the original bloke that lost the bet, eat the whole lot?

I love nettle soup but this is just strange

do you reckon it counts if you make a soup out of the nettles first? or maybe wilt them over the fire? i can eat them fresh but it makes my tongue swell up a little bit, does admittedly taste nicest that way though.
