Re: Wild food

When I lived in Cornwall (and had very little money) i lived virtually off what could be gathered from the countryside around me.

my speciallity was limpet stirfry ( don't try this in the summer folks), with seaweed ( dont know the sort but it was sort of crunchy.) Sometimes for variety we would flavour this up with wild garlic and feral fennel and mint.

We also caught little brown trout in the stream using a light trap, and caught bass and various other unidentied fish in tidal traps (we alway let the bass go as they are endangered).
