What's a wild leek? Do we have those? Is that the grassy onion things that are all over the place in the summer?

Edit: nope looked it up; something else entirely.

You're probably right. They are just some sort of wild onion. They are a big thing around here, we actually have an annual LeekFest. :)

I love eating foods I find growing wild. When I was a wee lad, we didn't have much good tasting food so we learned to thrive off of berries in the summer time. There were black raspberries and blackberries of course, but also these very tasty things called wineberries which were like raspberries but very very sweet, and we even managed to make a tolerable drink using the berries from sumacs. Sometimes ate nuts too but not too much.

I also ate alot of wild fruits when I was young. Black raspberries are awesome, but were tough to find. We also ate alot of apples and seedless grapes, plus there was these berries called goose berries, which were awesome. I'm not sure if "goose berry" was their real name though, as I never heard anyone else mention them before. :chin: I suppose I could get off my ass and google them though. :doh: I think I will go do that. :idea:

I ate goose berries once and I spat them out in some ones face (accidently) because they was disgusting.
I love blueberries most, then strawberries, then raspberries.

What's the tree that silk worms eat from and has berries?

The only thread I am aware of that I killed was one of my own. :lol:

I'm sure I've killed a few, but I've just never payed any attention to it. :P

Blueberries are actually native to North America. There aren't many near where I am, but I was hiking my favorite hiking spot (Mount Tammany in the Delaware Water gap) last summer and for the first time I noticed that practically all of the underbrush at the top of the mountain is actually wild blueberries :lol:. Very neat; they aren't as overpoweringly sweet & flavorful as the kinds of blueberries you get in stores, which I actually really like.

Hmmm... as far as I know real gooseberries don't grow wild in North America. although maybe they're feral :chin: What did they look like and how did they taste? A real gooseberry is spherical and turns a kind of sickly reddish when ripe (although I always ate them while they were still green and very very sour).

^I looked them up, and they are authentic gooseberries(the non-hairy variety). I think that some foreigner brought them over here, long ago. Our climate must be OK for them to survive, I found them growing in some old ladys back yard, and they were flourishing. I actually checked on them a couple years back, and they were still there. I'll have to remember that this year....... :chin:

I looked this up and I think you're thinking of mulberries.
