Dear constance:Constance said:xxdxxd2004, I am a horticulturalist, and actually had a chance to visit your country some years ago with a group of women in the same business. The purpose of the visit was to share our experience with Chinese women who had the same interests. Unfortunately, my daughter had just died, and I had her little 3 year old boy to care for, and I was afraid to leave him.
I live in a rural area in the center of the United States, and we have a number of wild foods available here. There are wild greens (polk, dandelion, lambsquarters, purslane, wild mustard, chicory, mullein, cattails and garlic) in the spring, as well as morel mushrooms, which are a real delicacy. We have plentiful sassafras trees, whose roots and leaves make a nutritious and tasty tea that tastes like rootbeer, and burdock, whose roots are similar to potatoes. Later we pick wild blackberries, elderberries, mulberries and crab apples for jellies and jams. In late summer, there are puffballs for frying, and chicken of the woods mushrooms, which are wonderful in soups or stews. In the fall, after frost, we have black walnuts, persimmons and hickory nuts to gather.
