We humans do like a bargain. Now is the time for a per- son to start gathering in plants that most of us call "weeds." I often wonder how many people are familiar with the types of plants growing wild that are edible? Many of these plants can provide a luxury meal. Many people are lost in bushland and actually starve because they haven't the knowledge about plants growing in the wild that they could have eaten, with the exception of wild fruit which most people are familiar with. Humans have the cur- iosity for unfamiliar things and just love to obtain something free.. Most peo- ple are sort of squeamish or hesitate about eating weeds. If one follows the animals in their simple diets, one can keep well as our ancestors when they ar- rived on the North Amer- ican continent. When they needed greens to supplement their daily rations of salt meat, dried meat, and fish, they just watch plants the animals and _ Indians resorted to who dried wild fruit for winter food. Gardeners throw away many weeds not realizing that they could be eaten, such as tender dandelion shoots and leaves as a salad or boiled and eaten like spinach. Their blossoms make excellent wine. I have eaten dandelions as well as lambs quarters which make an excellent salad or spinach like boil- ed served with butter and vinegar. Pigweed and violets can be eaten. Many wild plants are struggling for survival since our super highways, railroads, industry factories and homes are being built. We should all make an effort to become familiar with these plants in order to feel secure when lost in the countryside, thus one can always find something to sustain them. I'll list a few weeds that can be eaten. (1) Horseradish: very hot but provides a relish for beef. (2) Sap: from sugar maple and birch trees makes good pancake sy- rup. (3) Mushrooms: several varieties growing wild. Can be stored in jars and freezers--be careful gather- ing them in case you pick toadstools, which are poison. (4) Plantain: excellent for salads and soup. (5) Tansy: use for seasoning -bread dressing for fowl or hearts but use sparingly. (6) Rose petals: makes a delightful wine or jelly. (7) Oak acorns: ex- cellent boiled or roasted or _ can be ground into a flour- like substance for cookies, bread or pancakes. (8) Fiddlehead ferns: an excellent vitamin "C" source. (9) Wild crab apples or cooking apples: good for desserts. (10) Most humans are familiar with all types of wild berries: blueberries, cranberry, raspberry, elder berry, strawberries, black- berries, currants, cherries --to make jams, jellies, wines, etc. (11) Wild peas: just as tasty as.tame ones. (12) Cattails: shoots and roots. (13) Red clover leaves and flowers: salads, soups, or stews. (14) Coeslips: salads or boiled as a green. young hosting a oe Social Evening for all Senior Citizens on June 19th, 1986 at the Legion Hall from 7:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. The Township of Terrace Bay is All Senior Citizens in Terrace Bay are invited to attend. ] ROCKHOUNDS -- PROSPECTORS EXPLORATION COMPANIES Schreiber -- Terrace Bay -- Marathon The Ontario Ministry of Northern Development and Mines will provide an Economic Geologist to visit, assay and advise you on the potential of any mineral occurrences you may have staked or know the location of in the Schreiber-Terrace Bay-Marathon area.
