    Thank you so much! The lockdown got me into foraging and your videos are so helpful! I’ve picked stingy nettles (made a soup), sorrel (I’m from Poland and a sorrel soup it’s quite a thing, you just have to add an egg to not upset your stomach), wild garlic and the leek from this video. Looking forward to pick more, especially elderflower, my gran used to make elderflower fritters when I was a child.

    • @UKWILDCRAFTS

    Hi, i have only recently found your fabulous youtube videos. They are brilliant. I have lots of books on wild edibles but , for me, i find it so much easier by sight. So your videos really help. I too feel i knew alot of this from my early childhood but it got lost along the way, it is so lovely to learn it all over again! Thankyou so much for all your information. I love your accent too, you sound just like another youtuber called Joshx !

  • @AlexWindsor
    @AlexWindsor Před 4 lety

    Hi there - thanks for these amazing videos - I have been picking nettles for years now in parks around inner London and now I live next to a really important common in London. Was thinking to pick cow parsley because it would be really useful to pick that instead of buying parsley from the shops, but was concerned about mistaking it with Hemlock and after looking at lots of videos and comparing it with the plants I see on my common, I am really shocked. Firstly, as a beginner at foraging, I realise there is a lot of plants where the leaves and flowers are very similar to both but the stalks suggest that it could well a different species altogether.
    But there are lots of big plants so close to where I live that are clearly Hemlock (because of the crimson spots on the stalks) and others that are Cow Parsley (because of the celery-type stalks), but I will not take the risk!
    .I will be giving this one a miss, but have had a good success with: (nettles, obviously),
    .Goose grass makes great tea but is disguising fried or raw in large quantities
    .White Dead nettle, fried, boiled as tea, anything - is quite tasteless but can bulk up a meal full of nutrients
    .Yarrow, I really like the taste - was great with an omlette
    .Hogweed - I am scared of getting involved with it because of the risk to your skin if you get the giant hogweed and I had thought that there couldn't be any Giant Hogweed in central London, but then I have now seen lots of Hemlock all over this great common, so I think that I will give hogweed a miss until I learn more about it. The hogweed I have cooked very interesting and might take a bit of cooking skills to get the most out of it but seems like definitely worth the effort
    .Garlic mustard - my next study - there is a lot of it so I should pick some of it soon?

      Just from a quick look I’d say it was wild chervil/ cow parsley, which is edible but easily confused with poison hemlock which is deadly poisonous. I’ve done a video on it czcams.com/video/LCMCwa3I1T4/video.html

I'm learning slowly though. I find auntumn slightly easier. Large, flat firld mushrooms are almost unmistakable, epscially once you smell them. Elderberries and blackberries are also like that.
