When we were in Indonesia we enjoyed many meals made from wild ferns - the locals would just nip out and collect some, and make a delicious stirfry.
I wonder if they are different from our fern's growing wild here? Here is a picture of one of our lunches in Sibetan, Bali - wild fern, tofu satay, choko soup, chicken satay - absolutely delicious!!

Sibetan green fence with ferns growing - I love these fences - made from cuttings from the snake fruit palms, and sprouting with greenery. Oh to live in a climate where everything just sprouts up and grows like crazy.

I seem to be foraging alot in our own garden lately - looking for dandelion leaves and four leaf clovers to feed our guinea pigs - but perhaps I should be popping them in our own salad, and finding out about those edible ferns! Anyone tried them in Australia?
And here is a great post I found about eating your lawn: http://honest-food.net/2010/02/19/eat-your-lawn/
