What wild-gathered plant foods do you eat fairly frequently?
At least once a week I like to eat something I gathered from the wild. This week, I'll be making steamed red clover, dandelion-bud tempura, and something acorn-based (not sure what yet). My wild-berry wine is almost ready, and I have some wild herbs and berries infusing in vodka for mixed drinks.

How about you? What wild-gathered food do you eat a lot of or eat pretty often?

My mum makes dandelion wine. I haven't the heart to tell her how awful it is.
If at first you don't succeed, perhaps failure is more your style.

What recipe does she use?

My dad's dandelion wine used to burn with an invisible flame. It wasn't great for drinking but it sure made good fuel.

These folks don't get it....

Didn't you see the other recent thread about the joys of corporate box made biscuits, factory made margarine and how wonderful they are? It goes on for 2 pages on how to make sausage gravy.

But you get an A for effort!

I like to get summer raspberries, wild ramp, wild garlic, and mint gone wild.

I eat dandelion once a week. And some kind of green wild thing (donn't know name in english) my Greek mother gathers from fields.

The recipe from hell, I think. She says it's good for killing off viruses.

Asparagus, Chanterelle and Morel mushrooms, huckleberries,

I heard that some types of truffles grow around here too, would like to know for sure and if so find some of those.

Budweiser. It can be wild in gathering it in an urban setting just prior to 2:00am. :tounge:

Wild Tomatillos (most haven't really started to come fully ripe yet), wild grapes, some kind of berry on a tree that is sweet/sour, sorrel leaves, wild mint, some elderberries, I might try to dig up some greenbriar root on the weekend as well as picking some young plantain leaves to put in the blender.

Re: What wild-gathered plant foods do you eat fairly frequently?
this year i have had ramps, morel and chicken of the woods mushrooms, dandelion buds sauteed, gooseberries and black caps, and wild apples, plus some fresh and some smoked fish. Harvested elderberries this past weekend and finished drying them today. I am considering taking a rice harvesting permit this year and getting a nice stash of wild rice.

Hey a ?. While I was harvesting elderberries I found some wild cucumber. We used to collect them and hurl them at each other. Anyone know how to use them as food?

Re: What wild-gathered plant foods do you eat fairly frequently?
I went along picking blackberries and huckleberries for the chickens, eating a few as I went along the way. I plan to make wildberry jam for winter. It's going to be yummy. Blackberries also make the BEST steak sauce.

I'm lucky to live in western Washington. We don't have the best climate for growing fruit, but all types of legumes and underground crops love it. You'd think the opposite what with the rain and sort, but we can grow peas just about anywhere. Blackberries grow everywhere. Cool weather berries. And I have a healthy patch of stinging nettle and elderberry, too. Thimbleberry, Salmonberry are late spring favourites.

I would caution you strongly about eating wild gourds/cucumbers of any type!

I eat manzanita berries, puffball mushrooms, miner's lettuce, wild grapes, Himalayan berries (wild blackberries), Grey pine nuts, I have four huge white oaks whose acorns that don't need to be leached, but we don't usually eat those.

Nothing around here but poison ivy, oak trees and rocks.

There are fish in the river but we've been warned not to eat them. Lots of squirrels, deer and birds, but I don't eat meat.

Can't grow a garden because the soil consists of about 3 inches of dirt over solid rock.

I'm forced to do my wild-gathering at the grocery store's produce department.
