but what if dandelions are valuable plants to me?
Dandelions are edible. All of it! Best most nutritious part is the root. Also, try to make dandelion syrup - it’s the best syrup I’ve had!
I really ought to learn more about foraging
Dandelions are actually a great starter plant for foraging - they’re super easy to identify and impossiible to confuse with anything dangerous!
still haven’t gotten around to trying out dandelion capers
They make an amazing salad with the right dressing, something balancing out their bitterness.
(I use yoghurt, salt, pepper, MSG, honey, olive oil, vinegar, a bit of garlic, mixed together until emulsion. Amounts by taste. And if your cat is crazy for yoghurt, like mine, remember to reserve a tablespoon of the yoghurt for them before adding the other stuff.)
- balsamic vinegar
- honey
- mustard
- walnut oil
balsamic vinegar
That’s cheating - it goes well even with ice cream!
Serious now, I never thought about mustard. I’ll try it next time, it sounds amazing.
Just get a couple of rabbits; they’ll take care of the problem in no time!
