[QUOTE="BadgeBunny, post: 2143109, member: 1242"] I would recommend this walk to anyone wanting to know more about wild edibles in Oklahoma. I came home with several specimens of wild food to hopefully get established in my backyard. We had a wonderful meal of harvested plants -- there was a soup made of dock and wild onion and garlic, a salad of chickweed, henbit, wild lettuce and something else, I forget what it was. Also, some wild "asparagus" which is actually young wild bamboo shoots and something that was made with wild rice, but I didn't care for it -- which is strange because I like wild rice. There were several plants we discussed that were not "out" yet, including morels. Be sure and take a notepad, a video recorder would really be handy, a pen and a shovel (a hand trowel will not work unless we've gotten some rain) and several large ziplock bags to put you specimens in. Also, when I was at the lake today, where there used to be weeds, I now saw meals ... Lots and lots of meals ... :) Finally, I had done extensive reading to prepare for this but was still not confident in my ability to discern edible from non-edible plants. I was right -- being able to identify a plant visually is one thing, but using your senses of touch and smell are equallt important. Taste is the LAST sense you want to use. And even then if aren't sure, don't eat it. [/QUOTE]
