What are some things you may remember your grandparents or great-grandparents foraging for outdoors - or maybe you know someone now who does - for food?
Poke is one - some like the young, tender leaves
Blackberries, other fruits (muscadines, apple, pear, etc.)
Nuts
Mushrooms - as long as you know WTH you're searching for and eating
What else?

Dandelion, cattail, American bueatyberry are all edible. Have you ever ate much of that?

We had a guy in the deer club that used to gather white oak acorns and make bread from them. Seemed like a lot of trouble to me.

Granny used to make poke salat all the time. She also made blackberry cobbler. She used to take me on hikes in the woods and we would dig sasafrass roots and she would make a tea out of them.
Pawpaw used to make blackberry jelly and muscadine jelly both were awesome. I remember them cooking them up out back of the house.
They lived through the depression, so they knew more than most people how to live off the land and they weren't ones to let anything that was edible go to waste.
I've eaten a lot of persimmons when I was a kid. I've also eaten a lot of tree nuts.
I've always been curious about ramps, but I've never tried them.
I'm wanting to start growing ginsing once I get the cabin finished. I think my mountain side will be a great place to grow it. According to a book I read about Lookout Mountain ginsing (sang) used to grow all over that mountain. We already have a bunch of muscadines and I plan on transplanting some in the front yard and building an arbor for them to grow on.

Most of the foraging my granny and paw paw did had medicinal purposes. Rabbit tobacco, ginseng, wild honey, yellow root, vetch, oxalis, several more I can't remember. They had a natural cure/remedy for tons of common ailments.

Huckleberries. They grow along the bluffs around here.
I firmly believe that a double gallows should be constructed on the East Lawn of The White House. Politicians who willfully and shamelessly violate their oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America should be swiftly tried and, upon conviction, publicly hanged at sunup the day after conviction. If multiple convicts are to be hanged they can choose with whom to share the gallows or names shall be drawn from the hangman's hat to be hanged 2 at a time.

Wild plums are awful tasty as are ripe persimmons. There aren't any wild plums on our farm anymore, but I do graze on persimmons in the fall.
Not for nourishment but chewing on the stem of a sweet gum leaf tastes sorta like peppermint.

I've never heard of ramps here in Alabama but have smelled and found them while on a camping trip in northeast Georgia. Doggone strong aroma.

Attending a ramp festival or two always has been on my to-do list, along with going with someone to find and dig them. We'd also pick up pecans on the weekend. Our trees and all over the county.
We only messed with walnuts once, though. We had yellow hands for weeks.
I've been keeping my eye on a couple of pecan and walnut trees around here that are on public property or private owned by someone I know. Going to see if I can pick them up this year. Friend of mine in Minnesota is a walnut fanatic. He got some green ones this year and pickled them, and also is making some kind of walnut booze.

'Huntress says I graze around our house more than our livestock does! I'm constantly finding and eating berries and other wild fruit. I know where the best patches of sassafras are, and which are white sassafras and which are red, and if you walk around our fencelines and treelines, all of the cat briars always have the tops and tips chewed off...that was me, too!

I was in northwest Illinois this week on work and the property had some wild apple trees. Small apples with a tart flavor. They were wonderful.

better watch out!!Investigators said they got a 911 call from the club about the woman, but the caller said the woman wasn't a threat. Chatsworth police officers found 87-year-old Martha al-Bishara on the property when they arrived. Police said they ordered Bishara to drop the knife and then shocked her with a Taser. Family members shared photos of Bishara inside her hospital room with WSB-TV’s Richard Elliot. When Elliot stopped by her home Tuesday, her family said she was doing well. “She’s recovering, you know. Still a little sore from what she’s gone through,” nephew Solomon Douhne said.

Police used a taser on an 87-yo woman cutting dandelions with a knife?
Damnation. I'd be madder than two wet hens if I was her family. That's a complete lack of common sense.

I love chanterelles in soup. Elderberry pie, jelly and wine are great too. We ate a ton of poke salad when I was a kid. We found wild honey bees and transferred them into hives. Of course I’ll never forget all the berry picking....huckleberries muscadines blackberries elderberries dewberries . Was great growing up that way and wouldn’t trade it for anything
When I need expert advice I tend to talk to myself The older I get the better I used to be
