Still need interested in that book?<br /><br />Murphyfish,<br />A great book on the subject (which WO may have reviewed) is The Foragers Harvest by Samuel Thayer. It's the best laid out, and easiest to follow of all the books in that genre (in my arrogant opinion).<br /><br />Mel,<br />When I was in the BWCA working as a Ranger we used to pick fresh blueberries for our outmeal, so I know where you are coming from.

There was nothing natural or local about those potatoes, but the wild garlic I collected made the whole meal seem special.Melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17177478757331772420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8068482586717478503.post-46774298597396752352010-04-16T09:34:16.351-05:002010-04-16T09:34:16.351-05:00Hello Norseman,

This is going to be the year of the thistle for me - roots and stalks. Already have one bull thistle root peeled and ready. And maybe going to give milkweed pods a try. Oh, and burdock roots and stalks this year. And, really, anything else I can find. Going to harvest some watercress tomorrow (and maybe a trout) while I'm out looking for morels. The woods are looking like they are about ready!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
