Fiddlehead greens are a type of fern that is indigenous to Eastern/Maritime Canada. The part you actually eat (they're deliciious...sort of spinachy) is the tender head, that's curled into itself as it sprouts.

Young fronds are called "fiddleheads." They get this name from the way they coil up, their heads look like that of a violin, or fiddle. The only way I know this is because I just had this question in biology! Good Luck! Young fronds are called "fiddleheads."

Same kind of things the rest of Canada eats. OH! and fiddleheads. they're this fern that looks like the head of a fiddle, and they taste delisious with vinegar. Don't knock it 'till you've tried it.
Mi'kmaq were semi-nomadic hunters and gathers. The tribe did very little in the way of agriculture. During the summer the Mi'kmaq would harvest wild fruit, berries, roots and other plants. These were used for food, for medicines, and as materials for weaving etc. Some food plants like fiddleheads and bullrush tubers were eaten fresh, and others would be dried and set aside for the long winter.
New Brunswick has many of the same foods as the rest of North America. Many of the residents do eat deer, rabbit, moose, and lots of sea food. In the coastal areas, dulse - seaweed that is sun dried and eaten like a bag of chips or used to season cooking - is eaten. Fiddleheads, which are ferns that have not yet unrolled, are also prepared like spinach and eaten in the summer. New Brunswick is also home to many Acadians. Acadian French cuisine is characterized by food that uses a lot of cheaper or easily-grown ingredients, such as potatoes, cabbages, and turnips.
You will see fiddleheads in the first stage known as transition in the life cycle of a fern. The fiddleheads are delicately divided when they expand into fronds.

Oh no. There is no direct evidence between cancer and fiddleheads. You may have read certain ferns contain a carcinogen, but the fiddleheads you find in the store is not one of them. Cooked properly, they are safe.
No, rabbits probably shouldn't eat fiddleheads. Although they are not listed on the list of known poisonous plants for rabbits (see link below), raw fiddleheads are known to be poisonous to humans, so they could be for rabbits as well (see link below). See the related questions below for more info about what rabbits can eat.

The developing leaves of many ferns are called fiddleheads because they show a resemblance to the top end of a violin. (Violins are often called fiddles.)
Fiddleheads are the still-curled young fern plants. They look like the curled 'head' of a violin, thus, fiddle-heads.
