The rise of ‘invasivorism’ has introduced a range of unusual eating choices as diners strive for a more ethical diet
It can be grilled like asparagus, mixed into a sweet-sour ripple ice-cream or even turned into a beer. When guests arrive at Silo, a “zero-waste” restaurant in east London, next month they’ll be treated to a series of dishes from an unlikely source. It is more famous as the scourge of homeowners, but for some, the solution to the Japanese knotweed crisis is to serve it for dinner.
Eating invasive species – called “invasivorism” – is increasingly fashionable as people search for ethical diets. In London, at The Ninth in Fitzrovia, three-cornered leek, a milder version of wild garlic, has been whipped into aioli, while at Native in Mayfair it is used alongside asparagus. At Seasonality in Maidenhead you can tuck into muntjac deer tartare, while Edinburgh’s The Palmerston uses sika deer extensively.

I’ve had haggis before. It’s pretty good. But you’d need a lot of squirrels to make a haggis.

Real life has caught up with the Clampetts.

And finished with a slice of Cockroach Carmel Pie.
I came on here to specifically address squirrel haggis... but I see you already have it covered.
Good day, sir.
Oh geez, is there any hope?
Before you gather an armload of Japanese knotweed, however, it’s important to know that only certain parts are safe to eat, and only during certain parts of the year. It’s best to gather shoots when they’re tender in early spring, generally under about 10 inches (25 cm.) or less. If you wait too long, the stems will be hard and woody. You may be able to use the shoots a little later in the season, but you’ll need to peel them first to remove the tough outer layer.
Note of caution: Since it is considered a noxious weed, Japanese knotweed is often sprayed with toxic chemicals. Before you harvest, be sure the plant hasn’t been treated with herbicides. Also, avoid eating the plant raw, as it can cause skin irritation in certain people– cooking Japanese knotweed is a better option. Harvest the plant carefully. Remember, it’s highly invasive.

With a side of Kruetzfeld-Jacobs disease.
I’ll just have Rib Eye steak, mashed potatoes, green beans, biscuits, and Cherry pie, thank you.....
Pretty sure our biggest invasive species problem would be illegal to eat.
I have a recipe for kudzu burger, tastes strange but it grows on you.
I’ll just take some fish and chips, thank you!
Since cattle and honeybees aren’t native to the US, I’ll stick with milk and honey... and steaks. Potatoes are native to SOUTH America,right? Well bake a couple of those with more of that non-native butter and sour cream.
And for desert I'll have one or two sugar free brownies that I baked yesterday evening.
Not too exciting, but that will work.
It's 6:30 - I'd better get busy.
Yes, eating fentanyl is illegal and dangerous.
If it tastes good, eat it!
Snails, stinky tofu, opossum, dandelions, roe, lutefisk
Lots of stuff out there is weird and eatable.
Except Tripe. Attempting it once was way more than enough for me.
Like old pencil erasers covered in snot.
Sooo, you chop up a squirrels organs and stuff them into
it’s stomach...for what finger food ?
