I've been on an quest to find more edible plants and overall things in my local area, more indigenous to the area as well and other cultures. Theres this phrase ive heard from those around me growing up "people will eat anything" Derogatorily, in reference to something that isnt the same fucking 10 vegetables you can get at the grocery store. How awful is that? this subconscious fear of almost 5,000 more edible things on this planet we can eat and cultivate and nurture. I want to find and discover more things I can eat. Ive always been interested in trying foods native to an area and maybe im a little homesick from my state and the foods found there. It's just odd to me that some foods and recipes are seen that way. LIKE, oooh what the fuck people eat that? thats so weird thats just some random plant. EVERYTHING IS A RANDOM PLANT!!!! omg... i want to try foods
