I’m learning so much from you brother! Best UK foraging channel…
Agreed
Nice one. Thanks 😁
I wish I knew people like you in real life.
😁
Man, I always wait forward to your videos but especially now when here, in Norway, snow is only just starting to melt away and nothing has started growing yet.
I'm in my fourth year of foraging, and the video you made on the blackberry (or any other fruit) vinegar is really important because I have made a lot of it and it means I can enjoy bitter salads with dandelion, cleavers etc.. with the sweet vinegar and virgin olive oil. (But my god isn't olive oil expensive at the moment!)
Yes I love making those fruit vinegars 😁
Cheers mate. Very informative again. Keep em coming. I am learning so much. 👍
Thanks 😁
Great, just been watching your videos in the last week.
I am munching on wild garlic, dandelion flowers and leaves, nettle and a bit of sea beet.
Down here in Cornwall we have had so much rain. I will walk further afield soon.
Love your videos
Doing same here🌠👋
Careful eating too much purple deadnettles. May have to stay in the potty the next day🌠😆👍
Nice one. Thank you 😁
Amazing! Thank you for sharing your knowledge
You’re welcome 😁
Massive thanks for sharing your knowledge🙂
You’re welcome 😁
The elm seeds are dried saved and used by the Scandinavians for a porridge substitute
Ah nice I’ll have a look into that 😁
This is a really good channel for anyone like myself who wants to educate themselves on edibles in the wild. I never knew that there were so many plants and fruits in the UK that are edible in the wild. Your channel and Atomic Shrimp's channel are two of the best on RUclips for foraging related content. Also,what's your advice for foraging if we live in a big city like London for example? Another good video. 👍🏻.
Thanks much appreciated. I rarely go to London so I don’t know what the foraging situation is like there. But in other cities like Bristol there are always parks to forage in
Thank you for another useful video. I made garlic mustard pesto pasta for lunch today from your video on that. I used walnuts instead of pine nuts because pinenuts in the Co op were unbelievably expensive! (Got me wondering if I should gather my own pine nuts too.) The pesto turned out so yummy, way better than bought stuff. Thanks!
Yes pine nuts are so expensive these days
I wish I could find a good foraging course in Germany in English... If you know anybody in the Berlin area especially, I'd love to know.
Hmm. I've seen posters for a few up here in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, but not in English that I know of. I speak good German, but I can imagine it's going to be too tricky s subject if you don't. If you have a local indie health food or Bioladen, maybe they have a board with such things listed? You could try putting up a notice yourself, maybe.
Great video thanks
Thanks 😁
Nice bit of gathering. Thanks for listing the plant names. We have a geranium that is similar to the Herb Robert. Considered a weed here. I leave them around.
this is amazing and so informative. its unbelievable how much nature provides. i'm a home gardener but you've really inspired me to incorporate foraging into my food. perhaps not herb robert though, you're braver than me if you like the smell of that stuff
Thanks 😁. I like the smell of herb Robert, smells just like coriander to me
Ever tried cooking your weeds and adding them to a chickpea flour batter then frying? Lovely! Gotta use onion salt, not granules with chickpea flour to give it taste. You can add any other spices and herbs you like, I tend to stick with cayenne pepper and oregano, turns out amazing like a super healthy vegetable burger.
Makes sense🌠👋Sounds like a good idea
Thank you for your suggestion!!
I'm going to be trying to make this as soon as possible!!
Namasté 🙏🕊️
I make tempura mustard greens no need to cook the greens first
@@HolyFreakinDragonSlayer Holey Eternal Omnipresent Greetingz cuzinz 🌠 😎 👍
I’ve made wild food pakoras with gram flour. I often make tempura batter for wild veggies too 😁
Can't wait for the book 😊
Should be out by next spring 😁
Time to grab your baskets❤ thanks for the amazing info and looking forward to seeing that salad! 🤤
😁
how long will that lot last once picked?
A basket like this usually lasts me 2-3 days. But will stay fresh for a week or more
Love this channel and learn so much!
But I'm still not confident in how to store & properly use in cooking. Love to see a few extra kitchen video to go along with these. Thank you x
I just harvested Dead Nettle ( which are quite prolific this year in my area of the States) and Dandelion. Dried the DN and made an infused oil with the dandelion flowers for salad dressing. Hoping to get more to try making wine. I really enjoy your calming videos. Thank you.
Another great relaxing video in the wonderful larder that is the UK countryside 👌🏽
Thanks 😁
Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge!!
~I have just been busy with Ground Elder, gardeners hate it, but I love it!! Delicious!!
We seem to be a little behind you, in the North West of the UK, it's only a few weeks before we're going to be able to find almost everything that you are!!
Namasté 🙏🕊️💞🌟
Andréa and Critters. ....XxX...
How do you wash/prepare these plants? I live in London and am so aware of dogs weeing everywhere. I can see you are in a much more rural place but I imagine people walk their dogs along those paths?
Oh, I see you answered my question towards the end! Just a rinse
@@MsBoudiceaI soak mine in water and bicarbonate of soda, removes all toxins ❤
想請問你在倫敦哪里看到野韭菜，我去了4個森林都沒找到，謝謝！
You got a nice bunch of variety there👍
😁
Wonderful video, cant wait to see the meals You made!
I worry about picking things low to the ground in case animals have peed on them . Anyone here have any advice on how to make sure it’s safe please? Xx
I tried the tip of Japanese knot weed recently, not an unpleasant taste couldn't think of similar plant flavour. Himalayan balsam is the next to sample.
So enjoyable and informative, thank you for educating the public about the magic of wild foods.
I’ve seen some debate online recently about the cyanide content in garlic mustard, what’s your take on that?
Eat your heart out, Waitrose!
Ha. I recognise that Edge that you are Under! :)
😁
Wonderful channel. Though in the US, it's one of my favorite foraging channels. I really appreciate when you show how you use the foods in the kitchen.
Thank you 😁
Keep up the good work bro, such a great video and makes sense wy spring is my favourite season 🌱
9:20 isn’t that the Christine Aguilara song?
Hello, what is the term for "foraging" stuff like barnacles or winkles? I am quite interested in doing something like that. Both a relaxing and informative channel, btw, kudos!
Thanks 😁. It’s also called foraging.. coastal foraging/ gathering when picking molluscs etc. If you’re interested in coastal foraging I highly recommend checking out Craig Evans’ channel. youtube.com/@coastalforagingwithcraigev8447?si=bJAFxSdLJ7MC8utp
He’s very knowledgeable on coastal foraging.
Wow! Amazing wild herbs! I am thinking of doing this but not very confident just in case I pinked the wrong ones! I am only familiar with famous Dandelion & also at our back garden we have wild strawberries
Yes it’s best to be cautious. Learn a few plants at a time and build your knowledge up 😁
Ha! I use the same term - urban foraging is when you pick rosemary and bay leaves out of people's front gardens!
Fantastic! Do you do days out? I’m in Faringdon, near Swindon and would pay to spend a day learning from you 🙏👍
I don’t at the moment. Hope to one day 😁
Thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge my friend. Truly inspiring. 💯👍
Thanks 😁
Thank you for another great video. I learn so much from you.
Thanks 😁
:-)
Fabulous video marra 👍 your knowledge is power 👍👍👍
Thanks 😁
Ok I am amazed, this is seriously good to learn and interesting. I may try some foraging.
Awesome! learned a lot of the wild plants you've foraged.
great video . thankyou - very insipiring x
Thanks 😁
Perfect as always, keep it going mate ♥️
Cheers 😁
Hi, I've just come across your channel. Brilliant content.
How can you tell the difference between common hogweed and giant hogweed shoots? I've been afraid of gathering these.
❤your channel is the BEST🎉
Thanks 😁
Outstanding knowledge. What can I safely pick and either eat on the go or add to boiling water to make a tea . Also, how many times have you sworn by picking the wrong nettle 😂
Great vid! What’s the difference between dead nettles and stinging nettles? Cheers!
Dead nettles are a member of the mint family, not closely related to stinging nettles but just look very similar
Thanks again Lewis, I'm going to try the hogweed I didn't know it was edible, it's as common as wild garlic here in Ireland.
❤❤❤
The only issue i can see picking them roadside is the fumes from vehicle exhaust may be at the absolute least put a bitter taste on them, great video and very educational
Thanks for the way you bring the camera so close to the plants, you have given me so much confident in foraging. you are the bestxxx.
😁
@@UKWILDCRAFTS you wouldn’t d'nt beliefe me , how i wish i can send the the picture , of what i confidently picked today. i can list it out here : Horsetail, primrose flower & leaf, Dandelion flower &leaf, Vetch, Cleavers, wild sage, wild mint, wild garlic, Dog violet, Garlic mustard, Ground ivy. i made salads.
