We moved from London to Scotland this year. Since then we've been getting into country living. The latest thing is finding, identifying and eating wild food. It's fantastic! We used to pay a fortune at places like London's Borough Market for chanterelle mushrooms, blueberries, sorrel etc... but now we can go for a walk and come back with a lovely dinner, at it's absolute freshest, and completely free!
We're just starting and have a lot to learn, but it's amazing how quickly you can pick things up if you go out with people who know their stuff - and then follow it up with a little reading.
So I think this blog will have a few purposes. Basically it's about learning and sharing about wild food, which has to be a good thing since all the experts are getting old now and their skills and knowledge in wild food is at risk of being lost.
1. To help me learn about wild food, from my own experiences and musings.
2. To help others learn from what I've picked up
3. To help everyone learn from each other through their response on this blog and other social media
That's enough words for now, other than to say please do make comments if you feel like it. We'll all benefit :)
