We retrieve oranges and grapefruit from trees just dropping them on the ground here in Phoenix. Unfortunately, some of the orange trees have nasty tasting fruit.

Had a few paw paw trees here in Ohio. They are definitely banana tasting. Problem is they are like a slimy smooshed banana full of big seeds. They also have to be perfectly ripe and that lasts about 2 days.

Two paragraphs in and I'm still expecting dumpster diving.

Even with the old hippy reference.

Buffalo-style milkweed pods, daylily blossom quesadillas, dandelion blossom fritters, purslane, chickweed, lambsquarters, wild plum jam, teas made from goldenrod, sumac, creeping charlie, pineapple weed, dandelion root. All very good, and good for you.

Often wild edibles have 3-5 times the nutrients then their cultivated cousins.

I prefer to eat wild edibles processed by a moose.

City dwellers could feast on squab if they dare do so. You just need a park bench, some bread and an umbrella to stun that pigeon before you twist its neck. Oh, so yummy. lol

There’s always a few fries left on plates at the diner, in the room service trays in hotel hallways, etc.

Foraging is for those who know what they are doing.

Read the book wicked plants.

I thought pawpaws were out of season in February, but I guess it could depend on your location.

Foraging is great, but it’s also very labor, land, and knowledge-intensive.

Even most of the “foraging experts” would probably starve to death if they had to live off the land.
