Don't think so but maybe, to be honest as a youngster I didn't pay much attention, the cook foraged (with me as helper) and then cooked it up for me. I must have reeked of garlic in those days, but then so did everybody else I seem to recall the vine was much like that bindweed lookalike you were discussing a few days ago but I couldn't be sure. RE: Foraging as a child - PyreneesPlot - 27-01-2022 Umm, just blackberries and field mushrooms. I missed out! RE: Foraging as a child - Bren - 27-01-2022 Up until age 12 I spent school holidays at my uncle's farm, so plenty of fruit and veg to munch on while we were out playing then Sunday afternoons the ice cream van came into the yard. We're we live now it's a couple of minutes walk to the fields not so many blackberries/apples around now as there were when our kids were young. Still plenty of wild garlic though. |
