Having taught the subject of wild-food for years I can honestly say that most people even when shown, are to frightened to eat anything from the wilds. I teach groups of 10-40 at a time and there is usually only one or two that will try anything from the hedgerows.
When teaching Bushcraft the numbers that will try wild food are much higher, but even then rarely trust themselves to do it. Its just an interest for most.
