I'd be hesitant to try, especially with all the chemicals we put out in our lawns and fields.

I don't have anything growing in my yard right now, but I would like to know more about wild plants you can eat. It sounds very interesting and I am sure healthier than many of the processed foods we eat.

I love to go all natural nature but I can't trust that wild plants could be poisonous or bacteria infested. There was some wild rasberry in our yard, it taste sour but good but we got yelled at by my dad when he saw us eating them.  I can't trust myself to knowing which is poisonous & which is not. I've seen episodes where, a friend/cook visit this family, he cooked a delicious meal of wild mushrooms over steak & gravy; he found them in the family's back yard. The entire family & the friend/cook died from poisonous mushrooms! Literally, it was their Last MEAL!

Huh. That's kind of interesting. Guess I may have to look and see what's in my yard soon!

I never knew that you could eat dandelions - we have TONS.

I don't know about plants, but I have been enjoying some wild Sockeye Salmon I brought home from Alaska. It's great that we can freeze it and put it in a cooler to check like any other luggage to fly home. 8 hours later it was still hard as a rock and ready to go in my home freezer.

I would love to have some of the Sockeye Salmon

You really have to know what your're doing when trying wild food.  I visited a reservation last week and was impressed with how  informed they are regarding plant life in many area.
