BBC learning English always brings insightful and compelling knowledge as well as useful new vocabulary as usual. I reckon i’m a forager as when i was in grade 3th, more or less, i used to forage for wood ear mushrooms in my garden, chopped it and cooked with rice. It wasn’t a superfood but was a great adventure and memory for me. I am feeling quite nostalgic for my past childhood packed with a load of fascinating activities. Now i’m still wandering around taking the air noticing whether there are some wild fruit trees along the road with my cousin sister. Once , we luckily found blackberry fruit trees, flucking fruits from the trees and eating them. It tasted quite good. It’s mind-blowing to know that eating wild food helps with losing weight and is beneficial for microbiome, human guts and food digestion . I will be searching for nettles in my garden as there are a number of unknown plants and weeds to boot.
Humans need good life and good health, nature always bring us what we wanted. Foraging through our wild make us good feelings also we can eat edible food that helps our health and immune
Humans found food through foraging, and the food contains a lot of microbiomes, so I fully buy into the idea. For example, nettles are free, and they are even considered to be a kind of superfood! At first, you might feel a little flat, but it is worth it.
I agree with you. Eating wild food can be dangerous but there are a lot of vitamins which can keep us healthier. Wild meat is not a good thing. In my opinion wild fruits are the best. One time i tried wild fruits. I can't forget how it tasted. That was amazing time. I took some wild apples from the ground. The smell of the fruit came around and the colour was red. I ate it. Thanks BBC💗
I've never foraged for mushrooms and seaweeds, because I don't know which of them are edible. Though there are a lot of people in our region who forage for mushrooms. I prefer foraging for plants: plums, apples, apricots, mulberry, blackberry and walnuts. They grow in our streets and in the forests. I gathered some of them during my trips to the countryside.
nice video,and i have to say. in some countries, there are few place to plant wild food because too much people in here. and we have not any experience regarding foraging for countryside food.
Hi everyone! Did you know you can download a free pdf transcript of this show? 📃 It's here: downloads.bbc.co.uk/learningenglish/features/6min/230720_6min_english_wild_food.pdf
I’m preparing for my PTE exams and I found this video to be very helpful. This audio is similar to the audio we get in the exam, and that’s the reason watching these videos will help me excel in my exam.
Hi Beth, I have been taught that, if sb says "What is the most popular foraged food...."I should then say: "I asked what the most popular food foraged in the UK was. Is this also correct to say: "I asked what was the most popular foraging food.." I will be be grateful to find out. Maria
Hi Maria. You can say 'I asked what the most popular food foraged was.' or 'I asked what was the most popular foraged food." but the second sounds much more informal and so the first option is better English - hope that helps!
I guessed it must be mushroom because it is actually possible to see everywhere which means it is not wild but there are thousands of different mushrooms which we can't know exactly in the world. So it has chance to be mushroom I guessed. I was right😍
I have something to talk to this madam who said 'Oh well, you know, if everybody foraged, they wouldn't be enough...'in this video, Do you know why human beings entered the farming era? Do you know how many human beings there are on the earth now? Do you know how much food a person needs to consume in a day? Many people in China have similar ideas, the only difference is that they also believe that wild animals are good for the health, and above all, they are free, so, in some places, they even eat up the whole mountain, the whole lake, the whole river... if you just want to supplement your nutrition or experience nature for a while to forage to improve your health, that's fine, but don't make wild plants, animals your main food resources and eat them all the time and convince everyone else to do it, you will eat up the whole earth, even yourself.
thanks BBC My summary while listening Thousands of years ago, before supermarkets, our ancestors had to forage for food daily but we seemed to forget how we managed in the past with the abundance of food we have today. Since the Covid Pandamic, foraging has been on the rise because why going to supermarkets when we can search for edible plants, mushrooms and fruit free of charge? According to Monica Wilde, an author, even the totally encompassing wild food diet is pretty unattainable to most people, we could still incorporate a small amount of them to enjoy their nutrients and vitamins that are barely available in our commonly bought food. In addition, a forager shared her experience of consuming only wild ingredients. At the start of the experiment, she felt flat and had insufficient energy level to make it through the day. After a few weeks of eating wild food, appreciation of nature and fresh air, she felt loads better and happier.
Come on we don't understand this shit are this like living in wild or living off grid Is so mysterious topic and unfamiliar to people who live in overseas or third country world
