Wonder if they've been getting taught in playgroup not to pick/eat random berries?

Funny 'cos that's my default - ever take me out into the country and within minutes I'll have gathered armfuls of mushrooms, roots, berries, fruit, herbs and small animals (both vertebrate and invertabrate) .... all of which are "edible" (allegedly) - just ask Secretrebel. Comes of being from Devon you see .... just ask Metame ;-)

... and the Ardennes is providing rich pickings :-) :@) ;-)

Do you actually eat the stuff, or wave it about claiming that it's "edible"?

[jezzidue.livejournal.com]

I eat the edible ... and wave around the "edible".

I cooked a casserole of orange and yellow bracket funghi for Metame and Leathellin last year - we're all still alive ... and it didn't taste at all bad actually ;-)

This from the fellow who had to be stopped when he was trying to freeze a spare bag of mussels...

Yeah, my parents do the same if we're holidaying on a clean bit of coastline - shrimps, seaweed and so forth. Less so in woodlands - presumably on the grounds that the beach was actually quite good at protecting children from itself (most stuff tastes too salty to start with anyway, and shrimps/crabs are good at escaping), whereas poisonous berries looked rather like edible ones, and didn't necessarally discourage children by tasting bad ;)
