Late late late winter or Early early early spring wild edibles?
1) What do you gather/ hunt, fish?
2) What parts do you eat?
3) How do you prepare it?
4) What time of year is it?
5) What general part of the world are you gathering it in?
This includes any wild edible; plant, tree, animal, fish, bug, etc. If you get it from the wild and swallow it... it counts! :) Even if it's for medicinal purposes, etc. Any purpose counts! But, you must actually get it yourself.
I'm not interested in what can be gathered, or what someone else gathered, but what you, yourself have actually gathered, hunted, trapped or fished in this seasonal time frame and you yourself consumed.
I realize folks on this forum are from around the world, so that's what # 4 and 5 are for. Maybe your spring is in October or maybe you don't even have a spring or winter per se, I don't know! But, it'd be nice to have an idea of your geographic location and time frame as it relates to late winter or spring if possible.
My hunting and hardwater fishing season is over, and my open water fishing season is just getting started. So, ...
1) I gathered some chives.
2) greens only
3) and prepared them by wiping em off and eating them in the field while I checked on some maples for sap.
4) Mid March
5) 42nd parallel North, 950 ft. ASL, open woods near edges.
I wanted to gather some evening primrose root, for ID, but haven't seen any first year rosettes, just old dead stalks from the second year plants.
