Status Updates From The Skillful Forager

“Mulberries are good raw, made into jam or chutney, pie, pancakes, muffins, homemade wine, vinegar for a fruity salad dressing, and I’m sure many other uses. Let me know what you do with them!” - just ate…

“Many people nowadays are so far removed from plants and the true sources of their nourishment that they don’t know that all fruits come from flowers.If you pick a cherry blossom to garnish your salad, there will be one less cherry on that tree later in the year. I’m not saying not to pick the occasional blossom, but be aware of the consequences.” - we’re at this level through the whole book…

Incredibly boring. I wanted to feel among the “foragers”, but found myself sleeping.

“At first the stalks will simply bend. But when you hit the spot where they snap cleanly and immediately, everything from that spot up is culinary gold.”

It’s not very relevant and not very interesting to me, but i’m still returning to it. I guess this is nostalgia to be around foraging topic plus a check for inspiration

I just wanted to replace wiki scrolling to a book. But so far it was surprisingly irrelevant (less than mexican succulents, 3 of which i have)…

Thus far, I am throughly impressed. I find it incredibly challenging to find foraging or herbalism content that doesn’t also push ‘new age’/Wiccan elements.

I’m not perfect, I have yet to come across any reference to those practices; AMAZING! I look forward to continuing this text.
