What is the best foraging book for Europe?

Question

I live in Ireland and am looking to get into foraging - so a good beginners guide is what I am after. Can anyone recommend a book for Europe (I live in Ireland) ? I have seen many American books, but not many for where I live.

Answer 1

You don't need a European book, you need Ireland specific as different things grow in different countries depending on where they are ...........



What do I get in Ireland ...........mushrooms and other edible fungi ( but you need to know what to eat and what not to) including truffles which are one of the most expensive foods you can buy ( if you can afford them)

Young dandelion and nettle leaves, wild garlic, water cress, there are lots of different seaweeds, also mussels, crabs,cob nuts, sloes, blackberries, rose hips, crab apples, quince, elderberries and elder flowers, also birch sap ( http://birchsapwine.com/ ) lots of various seeds, like pine nut seeds, sunflower etc which you can toast and eat as snacks



This may be a good place to start

Best Foraging Book

Answer 3

Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter are at all times enjoyable. Nonetheless, you don't have got to restrict yourself; when I used to be 14, I read various classics, and i maintain discovering more every day. Try The Grapes of Wrath, long past With the Wind, To Kill a Mockingbird, The Catcher in the Rye, 1984, Lord of the Flies, The Odyssey, any books by using Charles Dickens, and so forth. When you want to deal with some more adult books, are attempting battle and Peace, Anna Karenina, Wuthering Heights, whatever with the aid of Fyoder Dostoevsky, and The color red. Some of these may not grasp your interest proper away; i could not get through Wuthering Heights unless I was once 16, however they are all pleasant literature and valued at a are attempting.
