After a sketchy first wild food foray Amy Manning kindly took us for a walk around her neighborhood and she really knows what to eat and what to avoid. We didn't go more than a couple of hundred metres from the house yet we found great varieties of edible plants. As well as showing us how to identify certain species (and how to beware of poisonous look-alikes) Amy gave us some simple ideas for uses - both culinary and medicinal .
It was really inspiring to learn from someone who really does make everyday use of these abundant plants.
My favourites on this walk were wild garlic, lambs quarters (or wild spinach) and mulberries. So delicious!
Thanks Amy.
