i have that one.  and like all cookbooks, they tend to 
tell you how to cook it, but not the potential pitfalls. 
;)

did you know ancient ireland had laws for who and how much 
dulse could be harvested?  much the same as with fishing 
areas.  i guess you can see i am getting edu-macated in my 
research for the upcoming class: Legends, Lawyers and 
Landfills, Documenting Early Irish Food.

 From what i have heard, perhaps dulse is best used as 
seasoning and not an ingredient!
