When I was a kid I'd bring books home from the school library. I remember one in particular had all sorts of recipes for living off the land, using dandelions, violets, cattails, acorns, etc. Well, I had literally copies all those recipes by hand... wrote them out word for word, then returned the book to school. I still have those hand-written copies, and always wondered about trying some, but have been skiddish. After coming across this article, and reading the comments, I have decided I really do want to try this. And a huge thank you to all the commenters who gave advice and instruction... I'm printing those out too, for reference!
