Thanks, @enternamehere! My mom has a big set of those red dishes. It's been her fancy set for years. It was fun to be able to use one of her plates for this post.

One good way to start is by listing the plants that you already know how to identify, rock solid. THen find out which ones are good to eat. Getting started with trees is good, too, because it's harder to mess up with them. There's a lot to say about getting started foraging. I'll be spinning up a project soon that I hope you will find helpful.
