Tips on keeping your favorite Unicorn happy & healthy.
Chapter 1. Feeding your Unicorn.
Unicorns are very health conscious, and without the need for having to arrange the food in silly face shapes on their plates, will happily eat their plate empty.
A suitable everyday dinner for your Unicorn will be made up of Something Round, Something Green, Something Fluffy, Something Unseen. This is a good stock standard rule to follow. This will ensure that your Unicorn will always be healthy and of course happy.
DESERTS
When it comes to desert, and particularly when it comes to berries, most will eat like greedy little piggies, except delicately.
When preparing a sweet dish with grass, be sure to select only Tender Topmost tips and the only greenest blades.
Tender Topmost is perfect for a desert topped with any kind of dangling berry. (mine has preference for blue ones).
Any edible berry which can be seen to dangle off the branch is a good healthy choice. This does include the cherry tomato.
The Cherry, although it does look like a berry is not. Of course it has that big seed in the middle. The good thing about this is that, when a Unicorn has had a feast, he/she will spit out the seeds leaving them in a little neat pile. That means that if you have not seen your Unicorn lately, or accidently lost it, you will have proof that your Unicorn is safely hanging around close by.
If, on the other hand, you are still wishing for your very own Unicorn, you will know that your wish may becoming true.
FUSSY EATERS
Unicorns have a preference for anything with crunch. If your unicorn has a tendency toward the fussy side, include in the dish such things as Jellysnail, Nutpeas & Honeyspout. these can easily be collected in any secret garden, secluded (freshwater) riverbank, or behind a chicken coop. If you do happen to have trouble finding these, one tell-tale sign to look out for is the presence of true Dandelion. This will be a good indication that things found here will have a good deal of crunch to entice even the most fussy eaters.
If you study the leaves in the picture, you will be able to identify the true Dandelion and avoid being lead on a goose chase. This photo of the Dandelion in my herb garden is the TRUE one.
Here is a link to a good site I found.

Here is a quick warning I got off the link above, so I do recommend you read the entire article.
Dandelion
Propagation is by seed, and dandelion will grow under almost all conditions, thriving in dry areas, just as well as it handles the wet conditions. Dandelion will also grow in shade, although this plant family, the daisy, is always considered a sun lover. True dandelion should not be confused with Hawkbit (Leontodon Taraxocoides) or several Cats’ Ears species (Hypochoeris glabra and radicata) which is easily mistaken and is often found in lawns. The identifying points of dandelion are: pointed leaves, only one flower per stem, hollow stems and no hairs on the plant. Note, too, that although some look alike plants are often eaten; long-term use is not advisable. Recently, I had a lady call seeking true dandelion, as it is a valuable herb for horse health. Together with her husband, they run equestrian courses throughout Australia. She said, false dandelions can cause string holt in horses, which shows as jerky movements, freezing of muscles and seizures, as the kidneys cannot flush out the effect of the weed.
