@ YK--I"m NOT for foolishness regarding wild plants-- I'm talking about learning from a learned person. In the past, this information and identification was handed down generation to generation. When that continuitiy is lost, the food source is lost.
@ Lacy B-- smoked meats is something I have wanted to try; We have the smoker but have yet to use it; kids and I were discussing WHICH woods to use in it. We teach our kids how to ID trees-- DH learned from someone else years ago . . . But alass, a noted brain doctor has said smoked foods are a challange to our bodies; as in not healthy for our brains. So I"m trying to figure out how my love of smoked meats willl fit in my future diet!! lol
