My Dad came to our place in the woods many years ago. He saw wild burdock growing, started picking and after some parboiling, dunked them in egg batter and fried them. He was happy as a clam. He also ate dandelion salad every spring with hard boiled egg cut up, and a dressing made with vinegar and bacon grease. Yum!
Yep.. in spring it's important to move some of those potatoes and parsnips and carrots from what there is to eat in the winter. Dandelion salad makes things move. ;)
