Whoops, how could I forget about this? I would pick this as a kid with my grand pa and pickle them. Good stuff.

Natives have a saying around here. "If the tide is out, the table is set."
We're blessed with an abundance of edible wild plants on land and sea.
In late summer, we have blueberries and strawberries, salmonberries that grow wild in abundance.

salmonberries
I've never heard of these. I'm sure they're tasty,but they could have come up with a better name. Salmonberries just sounds disgusting.

It does, but...I've got some homemade salmonberry jelly and it's awesome. Tastes a bit like white apple jelly.

Mother earth supplies us with so many bountiful plants that we pass up. My diet consists mostly of prickly pear cactus fruit, jojoba seeds, and desert dandelions.
And cock?

I'm sure you are making fun of me but I would thank Mother Nature for the plants if I took a bunch.

I sometimes clip the ends of some thorny vine that grows crazy in SE La. A friend turned me on to it and calls it wild asparagus. It is not what other parts of the country call wild asparagus but the ends kind of look like asparagus.
It is a pesky vine with thorns and has a big ole bulb for roots and is very hard to till. The tender ends of new growth is what we eat. Good on the grill like asparagus. Taste mild.

Cat tail roots (
Have tried. Not bad with butter, salt and pepper.
Posted on 12/19/13 at 7:20 pm to SmackoverHawg
Cat tail roots have a turnip ish taste.
The top makes a goo torch if you soak it in kerosene or diesel.
Those mushrooms that grow on willow trees are purrty fine eatin if you soak them in salt water to get the worms our then peel them. They are great in a stew or you can cut them up into shoestrings and fry them like French fries.
