As always, you guys ALWAYS have the greatest ideas and suggestions.
I'm going to try a least a couple of them!

Interestingly, I brought it home with the fronds still attached. It
was the fragrance of the foliage that sparked my interest in buying
it, and trying it!

I wonder what would happen if you finely chopped some of the fronds
and added it to mashed potatoes with a little sour cream?
