RE: Steemit Iron Chef 2017 #02 : A Wild and Free Melange A Trois with Queen Anne's Lace

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed my wild carrots and other roots. A good sense of smell helps identify wild carrots. They do smell like carrots - and the poison hemlock stinks like mouse pee!

There are so many nightshades, like tomatoes, peppers, eggplants, and potatoes. The deadly nightshade (Atropa belladonna) is really toxic and the trailing nightshade (Solanum dulcamara) isn't for eating. But the black nightshade (Solanum nigrum) is good when the tiny fruits are really ripe -- all the way black, not green or purple. There is a lot of misinformation about black nightshade. Sam Thayer, a great forager, has the most thoughtful review of black nightshade that I've seen. I've enjoyed eating the berries for a long time.
