To celebrate, tonight a mixed salad of arugula, dandelion, daisies, peony petal, mint, spring onion.

Can a photo be?

I have a lot of Plantin in addition to the pisseslit ... herbivores love it ... But for us? Shall we eat it?

well, basically i would say that you need a small collection of edible plants, learn to recognize them and above all taste , the palace of one is not the palace of the other

I find it good, I what I taste and what I appreciate, I do not find it good because such and such says it, your post will have at least piqued my curiosity after having pitted my eyes with this title
it makes me want to be interested in all this

exact, the syllable ra making people think too much of the rat, people don't want it, it is a specialty of the Poitevin marshes and of Charente maritime and therefore à la carte of great restaurants in the region

At the same time, it is a "thorny rat" and a vegetarian rodent. But it's no wonder it sounds like a rat. Considering the damage it does, it is better to eat them, especially if they are also good.

Yes, the daisies are edible, I discovered this: https://docteurbonnebouffe.com/fleurs-c ... les-liste/

In the countryside, and for centuries, our ancestors did not hesitate to consume the leaves and flowers of this small wild plant, and they were doing quite well. Tonic, the daisy also has calming, depurative and very refreshing properties. Another of its virtues is to fight constipation.

In cooking, you can eat the daisy - raw or cooked - as a green vegetable. In the past, the leaves were used in the preparation of herb soups. The flowers were used to prepare sweets and candies. They are used today to garnish dishes with originality.

As for the taste - if it disconcerts for its little analogy with the vegetables we usually eat - it is frankly sweet and pleasant. Personally, it is raw and chopped in the salad, which I appreciate most the flowers and the small leaves. But I remember with pleasure the day when - at Ustariz - I had eaten a young pigeon cooked in the oven after being stuffed. As I was enjoying myself, I of course inquired about the nature of the stuffing, and to my surprise, I learned that it was - for the most part - a mixture of chopped daisy leaves and flowers.

The lanceolate plantain very good in salad, with a little taste of mushroom for the flower stalk http://www.assiette-sauvage.org/spip.php?article93.
Dandelions in early spring, and young leaves, because like many wild plants, they quickly become bitter.
The woodwort also gives a salad mushroom flavor.
