Wild Food Foraging with Miles Irving
Wild Food Foraging
Miles Irving came to Applecross over the Easter weekend, through the ALPS funding we were able to join him on a walk through the Walled Garden, wood & seashore for a bit of foraging.
The good bits were being able to identify what definitely NOT to eat – such as Hemlock and finding some new plants to forage for. My favourite was Sea Sandwort which tastes like cucumber. It can be salted & put into a reasonably airtight container & lacto-fermented like sauerkraut. He has a very informative book “the forager handbook – a guide to the edible plants of Britain” which is informative, does have recipes & eating advice; so often lacking in foraging books.
