Our rabbit and guinea pigs love dandelions, especially the flowers - and I've always known they could be eaten by humans, just never really quite got around to trying them.

Lean times - and everyone is looking for ways to cut costs - so how about squeezing three hearty family meals out of one standard chicken?
