   I gave two of the largest ones to a neighbor.  Will probably experiment   
   with different ways of soaking, battering and frying them.  I do have a   
   recipe that recommends slicing them into french fry shapes, coating the   
   slices in tempura and frying, then dipping the fries in a soy-based   
   sauce to eat while hot.   
      
   Depending on the taste, the rest of the family may or may not decide to   
   eat them.  Though, I've always found them to be pretty damn good, as   
   long as you don't burn them.  Scorched puffballs are nasty.
