    PS. Salad was amazing....grab all the young dandelions you can. As long as you wash them carefully they are free food! With the honey and mustard dressing it was gert lush...( as we say in these parts!)

    The leaves certainly aren't....wouldn't try the flowers( not sure why maybe the sap of the stalk gives you tummy ache? Cant quite remember) ...but the leaves if picked young enough are delicious. The root is used as a coffee substitute I seem to recall?

    Alex..you need to get out into that countryside of yours ;);)

    :rotfl: I've always been somewhat paranoid about eating things I've personally picked from the ground ever since I was a child. Admittedly, I was a bit of a spoiled brat during my formative years, never thinking I'd need to acquire such knowledge.
