since you asked us to keep it confined to flora, I will definitely have to go with:
#1- Morell mushrooms, they're just deee-licious!
#2- Alaskan blueberries or raspberries
#3- Alaskan cloudberries

Wild leaks, rasberries, black rasberries, blackberries, huckleberries, elderberries...most any wild fruit and berries basicaly, and clover and danilions make a nice salad.
1)moral mushrooms
2)dandelions
3)grape leaves
dandelions, blackberries, honeybees, and honeysuckle.
Not sure if they were wild, but I found two pear trees and about six peach trees and I love em.
I also like Dandelion greens as well as the wine made from the yellow tops.
And the fruit of the passionflower (maypop) 'Passionfruit!' Found a vine growing on the fenceline and love the fruit! (Makes a great smoothie!)

Hucklberry, persimmon, sumac-ade and hickory nuts are hard to beat. There are countless others which are delicious but these are my favourites.
Also, I prefer the chicory coffee to the dandelion coffee.

My favourite bush foods most definitely the top one has to be Cattail pancakes, usually made with porcupine or rabbit fat. (although rabbits don't have much fat on them) The most delicious tasting breakfast ever, especially if you have some blueberries to cook and pour over them... mmmmmmm
But for a meal, the one thing I have been craving over the years which I haven't had since my grandfather passed on would have to be pheasant, pit roasted with plantain, cattail shoots and arrowhead tubers, maybe dry and burn some coltsfoot for garnish/spice.
Sassafras leaves dired and crushed into powder and added to my stews. Skunk cabbage roots, thinned and dried, also added to my stews. My favorite game animal is Deer and Rabbits liver and eyes. I also like steamed grasshoppers, lol. My Acorn cakes are good as well. I have many favorite outdoor foods.
KILL OR BE KILLED
Nwy- you mentioned spice, Sassafras is the way to go. Lol.
KILL OR BE KILLED
When I was in the scouts (a reeeealy long time ago) we would use sassafras quite a bit. Now that it is known to be a carcinogen I will stay away from it.
last week alan introduced me to sweet gale tea very nice, this evening i used raspberry leaves i put 10 leaves in to steep for 10 minutes maybe next time i will only use 5 i wasn't overy excited about the flavor
always be prepared-prepare all ways

lol... it is illegal to pick mushrooms in most parts of australia
that aside, nothing is more rewarding to eat than something you have obtained from the wild!
i prefer any seafood because it is always fresher from the wild than any top class resturant (and free!) and easy to get
other favourites include rabbit, berries, honey and any plantation fruit you can steal
How about Orange grass, Sassafras, and Green Briar ? And some Yaupon Holly tea!
