We had a lot of wild plums growing on the roadsides. There were also the small wild pears with thorns on the branches. We also had huckleberries and persimmons growing by the creek.
We had a garlic looking plant that was wild. The smell would make a skunk run and hide, especially when it was several days old.
I know what you mean about the wild garlic. We had wild onions too. Really strong smell when you cut them.
We had wild pecan. It is very small with a hard shell. The nut meat has a stronger flavor. I guess it’s because they have more oil in the meat. Very good.
I used to love persimmons when I was a kid. You have to know when to eat them, or you won’t like them. Ha.
I haven’t eaten many of these things mentioned on this thread in years, but I’m wanting to find them now and try them again. I know right where to go to find some of them. Others may be a bit more difficult to find now.
