Date: June 08, 2014 06:53PM I foraged for some dandelion a month or so ago. I look forward to mulberries coming from the same forest preserve.  It's actually now against the law to forage and an old man got a $75 ticket for doing it. I think it made national news last year. But I don't care. Dandelions are weeds so they grow all the time. Mulberries just fall and rot on the sidewalk so I am hardly doing anything wrong.Re: wild edibles

I have a box just sitting here and haven't brought myself to trying them. It's not that I am afraid or anything but just not super motviated. Re: wild edibles

Date: June 11, 2014 09:36AM I only eat the remains I use in tea, so they're pretty tasteless. Not much different from any other green. I dare not eat them dry for fear of stinging my tongue. Re: wild edibles
