RE: A guest from the past
Delicious! and yes, they must be baby ferns. I find they taste similar to asparagus. We sautee them in a little butter -, garlic, and salt and eat them hot. Some people will steam them.
We usually have it mainly in the Far East. I tried salting them, but I didn't do very well.
No experience :)
I believe they are enjoyed most in regions where growing vegetable can be difficult and dependent on the whims of the weather. In places like the North Atlantic seacoast, they might be the first green edible that is seen.
In Russia, snyt used to be very appreciated. It was harvested in the same way as cabbage :))
The first spring vitamins, earlier than ferns)
I had to google a LOT to discover what snyt is. I think you mean what we call goutweed (apparently it is good for gout) or bishop's weed/ground elder. It is used as a groundcover here and people hate it because it is invasive. HAHA! I had no idea that it was edible, but good to know!

I had to give a link...
according to the photo and description, you will understand exactly what kind of herb it is and what its healing properties are.
This is really a storeroom of health))
Yes, this is the plant I know. ONLY the one we usually plant is the variegated variety. As I said, we mainly plant then as an ornamental. I am going to look for some plain ones.
The most useful is the usual dream. But it is better to collect it young. The leaves of an adult plant become quite stiff.
I am going to look for the plain variety. I have lots of land that needs ground cover and this plant grows very well here. Ha ha all the Russian plants grow so well here! I need to research more types of plants from Siberia to see what I may incorporate into my garden.
