Wild Food Gone Wild

The trend I have been hearing a lot about lately is foraging. Getting your groceries out of overgrown vacant lots and such.
Remember those concoctions you made as a kid out of milk weed, dandelions, weird bush berries and wild mushrooms and ginger snap crumbs. Then you put the stuff on ant hills and see if they flip out. You could cook the stuff with a magnifying glass. Who knew you were pioneering solar cooked, forgaged food nouvelle cuisine. So instead of ant hills, you serve it to paying customers with reservations they made a month ago.
I always liked the wild blackberry, the fiddlehead and the mushrooms that grow in the cow fields down in Florida. 2012 will be the year of foraging. Don't knosh the Florida mushrooms first, or there's no telling what you might eat next.
