Just read somewhere that they are edible, have any of you tried it? Is it worth trying or are they just horrible?

    They are, apparently, good eating raw, as slugs will tell you, but I'd rather keep mine for viewing

    At lest,Hosta is eatable.In Japan,you can buy them(called ‘うるい’) in the supermarket at times.Local people love eating tender leaves of Hosta.But I never try
