YOU WILL NOT STARVE TADAY ….. I LOVE HOW YOU say taday😅
Thank you Alfie you are Beast
Thank you sir. Starting to take notice of what we can eat and how to hunt/trap/harvest the🇬🇧 due to an ever building concern for how things are going to go. Its is my duty to ensure my family survive, I have been brought up in Norfolk so have a fighting chance when this country goes to shit. Why are billionaires buying up farmland??????? Good luck people!
And you have left out the most common worldwide vegetable that you can actually pick if you go outside almost anywhere in the world if there is green and Forest to be found you will find it and that is what is known as Queen Anne's Lace or wild carrot and yes it's even common in Israel it looks like the heritage carrots that you tend to find in certain groceries. I'm not going to go into other veggies that you have left out and I called them veggies because the way I see them that's how they remind me of veggies you know things you can put in a soup pot for example and there are some fruits as well that you can find growing wild but I'm not going to mention them either because if you're not even mentioning the wild carrot known as Queen Anne's Lace then you are leaving out one of the easiest and best finds that you can get for anything whether you want to eat it right out of the ground or you want to chop it up and put it in a soup pot you'd be surprised at how you can find it and there's other things as well but most of those things are not common depending on the region where is Queen Anne's Lace can be found everywhere. You should have mentioned it in the first place because like I said it is the easiest to find is the easiest to pull out and it is the most tasty root you're going to find in the first place.
But not all oak trees are like and some oak trees that produce what appear to be acorns are not acorns so they called false acorns in fact and some have even said they are toxic…
Walnuts grow even in Israel as do pecans the only problem is when they're that rotten on the outside you had better check on the inside that there are no worms or bugs inside… Because they often have it.
You cannot eat the raw poppy seeds because they are also high in a narcotic substance usually poppy seeds are treated so that they are no longer narcotic in that they no longer contain the narcotic that is used for both heroin and morphine which is inside the poppy usually the guys who are developing it from a drug will develop it from the sap around the seeds but the seeds themselves also contain it so if you're going to use the seeds just be aware you might get high.
In Israel you are not allowed to pick poppies that are growing wild as they are considered an endangered species.
And in the Holy Land you'll be lucky to find those nuts because the animals go crazy for pine nuts…
Pine grows everywhere including in the Holy Land that's never been a problem you can even make a drink out of pine needles pine cones are much better if you can get them when they're young because once they open and have floured you know as it were when I say flower they have open completely you won't find any pine nuts in it and that's a good source of protein but you have totally missed something that is common all over the world.
My question about this is the one you're showing is the kind that you normally see on the east coast in Arizona I have seen something that looks exactly like it growing wild and it looks to me like a rose but I don't know if it's the same thing so my question is is it everywhere or just on the East Coast.
You can make blackberry even raspberry leaves into a tea which is extremely good especially if you're a woman having problems with having lost blood…
I remember picking wild strawberries and blackberries and raspberries with my folks and grandparents in Switzerland.
Elderberry is also good if you can manage to squeeze out enough juice and turn it into a syrup it is good as a cough and cold remedy some people assume that's because it's high in vitamin C but that is not it's only Factor.
You say that the burdock root is the gold mine but it isn't there's something much easier to come by that is also an edible route and is common all over the world and it has a wonderful name and I'm going to wait to see if it's among your 25 edible roots.
I've I have seen elephant ears or what can you call burdock I did not that they were edible I just knew that they were green huge and could be put together as part of a roofing sort of thing to keep you Shady.
I have a question to ask you which you don't seem to answer I mean it's the first question that comes to mind when you're looking at knapweed and you're saying that the little bulb is part on the flower is too hard to be eaten couldn't you throw it in a pot and boil it like you would a potato… Then wouldn't it be edible?
I'm not 100% certain I may have mistaken it for the clover but I noticed it didn't look exactly like it so that was a long time ago again it's an east coast and sometimes you find it in Switzerland in certain forests there.
Occasionally you do find a four-leaf clover among the three leaves but it's quite rare which may explain why it's considered lucky.
I have actually eaten red clover it grows everywhere even in the Middle East in some places. And you can actually see it's Little flower purple flower tops when you're careful. Actually I didn't know I could eat them I didn't know you could suck on them and that they are extremely sweet and tasty.
I have seen garlic mustard in Europe, specifically in Switzerland. I have not seen it anywhere else but on the East Coast as well and it's a pity because based on what you say it would be wonderful to throw into a soup pot if you don't actually have garlic.
It seems like most of the foods that you are showing are more commonly found on the east coast of the United States and maybe even Canada.
Hawthorne seems to be only common to North America specifically to the east coast I don't know if it's common anywhere else I've never seen it anywhere else I've seen it in books mostly my dad's would tell me that this particular Barry is only common on the East Coast.
The daisies are similar to chamomile and they are actually quite useful if you do not have chamomile anywhere in your area to use as a means to clean an eye from an infection but chamomile is better.
I know about dandelions I never heard about fireweed but then again I've not seen it either having grown up both in the southern parts of the dry States like Arizona for example and Latin America as well as well the Middle East but dandelions on the other hand are well known my dad told me all about them he said the younger leaves are the best for salad and eating and the route is best made into a soup as a like you would potato.
Is it only me that didn’t know that you can eat acorns

Rosehip soup is a delicious and nutritious treat.
To make the soup you will first need to make a rosehip puree:
Rosehip Puree:
Pick a bunch of fresh rosehips, remove the seeds and rinse them in water.
Place them into a pot of slow boiling water with the lid on and just enough water to cover them.
Let them cook for 20 mins.
Save the water from the pot and push the rosehips through a strainer. Add some of the cooking water back into mash to create a soft puree. Add a little sugar to taste. (This rosehip puree can be frozen in portions).
Rosehip Soup:
Place 1,2L of water, 400 ml Rosehip puree, and 250 grams sugar into a pot and boil on high heat. Remove the foam as it cooks.
To thicken it I usually put about 3 tablespoons potato starch and 100 ml water into a small container and shake until the starch dissolves. I then add a little of this starch-water mix at a time. When the soup is thickened to your liking, serve it hot with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream 🙂

Primrose are also pink flowers
great video
I grew up around farms and wild areas. We use to go bramble picking and crab apple scrumping. They made great fruit pies.
It's odd to think we used to eat flowers all the time, especially clovers.
