I hate those wild plants. They might cause some allergies or has some poison/toxic properties. I would prefer to eat wild animals. With those large grasslands If I were them I will raise some horses, cow, sheep, goat, chickens or even rabbits for food.

What if the pasture is not too large? Suppose that you are having 10 hectares of land. That much land can support only 5-6 horses at the most. And even if you slaughter one horse every year, the meat won't be enough for more than 2 weeks (if your family is consisted of 4-5 members).

Yeah, you would need a large pasture for that. If I have just 10 hectares, I'd probably just farm grains and eat those directly rather than use those for animal feed. If I really need to sneak in some meat in my diet I'd probably go for rabbit. I heard they can be fed hay so maybe I can use the straw left after harvesting the grains.

Yes, some plants can be poisonous or have medicinal properties. You can not eat too much to not cause digestion.

Some of that stuff looks good after its cooked. I could eat this if I HAD to but I prefer my steak and potato.



They not only look good after cooking, but also taste good. For a change, you can try, on the Internet there are a lot of cooking recipes.

Oh how I would like to be able to do this as well! We don't know much about wild plants though, I've always lived in the city. Dunno bout the countryfolks. It would probably be cool to just go out in to the woods and come back home with a basket of nutritious greens for the family.

It definitely is a skill worth having. With all these talks about global instability and war, this could make the difference in survival in the event of a collapse. Now that I've thought about it, I should really brush up on edibles and maybe go places and start scattering seeds like crazy.

Such plants will very much help to survive in case of collapse, but it is necessary to understand which of them are edible, and which are poisonous.

Yup, really best to know what you're putting in your mouth. Spread seed of plants like lettuce or carrots and they would be easy to identify. Maybe aside from keeping an actual vegetable garden, we should be "releasing" plants into the wild, of course provided that they are non-invasive.  Grin

Many recipes for such Wild Plants are published.

The prepared dish looks very appetizing and probably not less useful. There must be many different useful substances.

You are what you eat. This is why the new Russian KGB (or whatever they call it) has all those wild, agent plants all over the world.

 Grin
In modern Russia it is called FSB. They are like an octopus has its tentacles scattered worldwide. On any forum there are Russian trolls in Newspapers on television. Every day we boned hundreds of fakes and it is very often impossible to distinguish fakes from reality.
We were just talking about picking wild plants and here we are talking about Russian government sponsored trolls. Only on the BitcoinTalk forums does this happen.    

Come on. You are what you eat. In Russia, Russian plants. Now we have seen that Russian plants can be found worldwide. "Worldwide" could be stated as "wildworld." Wild Russian plants, even worldwide!

 Grin

EDIT: Okay. So the Ukraine is not Russia. But it used to be part of Russia. And many Ukrainians think it still is. And so do many Russians.

Some of them are good for our health but you have to be very careful with them when you pick them up, if you don't know. Also, you know that those have no chemicals substance than the others.

Of course they're food!  They are no doubt healthy because they are so fresh.  I used to pick fiddleheads with my grandfather in the spring.  We would also go looking for wild asparagus and giant puffball mushrooms.  The puffballs were my favourite because we would slice them and fry them in butter.  If you were lucky enough to catch a spring smelt run as well, you were in for a gourmet meal!

I also tried them and I can say that they are quite edible. Of course, you can not eat one grass, but you can eat for a change.

 Not only are they edible, they are delicious and nutritious.  There is no comparison to grass other than the green colour.



Yes, I tried some kinds and they are really delicious. You can not even say that this is some kind of inedible grass.

Just hoping you pickers stay safe. I heard some edible wild plants have rather poisonous lookalikes.
Most wild plants are easy to tell apart and there is really no risk to picking and eating them (you could probably safely tell them apart after looking at a sketch, but I'd reccomend looking into it before you eat anything). Mushrooms are a different story, however, and I would never recommend trying to pick mushrooms that you think are an edible type.

I remember seeing a vid from Great Big Story about a mushroom picker in California that almost died when she picked up the wrong one. Yeah, mushrooms can be quite dangerous if you misidentify them. No wonder even mushroom farms heat treat their growing medium first before planting on them. I suppose aside from preventing molds from growing, that would reduce the chance of an evil lookalike sprouting in the same mix.

If I am left in the wild, I probably wouldn't be able to live of the land, we don't have a picker culture here. Guess I would be mostly looking for the nearest friendly coconut tree.
