The dewberry thread got me thinking. Anybody eat wild food from Houston? Nothing farmed, but existing naturally.

People pick dewberries in Memorial Park. I once saw a woman picking handfuls of wildflowers along Brays Bayou that she said was for hot tea. I've seem numerous fishermen along several bayous. What else have you seen people doing for naturally-sourced food?

Does waiting in line for a sandwich at Frenchy's or Popeye's qualify as food in the wild?

Wild onions around Allen Parkway Buffalo Bayou.

American beauty berries and birds eye red peppers in the pine woods north.

When I was a kid we'd pick buckets of black berries growing on the side of the road down by NASA.


Picked a few on my land too

homeless actually don't taste bad after a good brining.

Better be careful. They are a protected species in three south Texas counties and there was a time when the feds would stick you with harming a threatened species if you messed with them.

I've started finding chanterelle mushrooms the last couple of years. If you have a shady yard with older oaks there is a good chance they are popping up in your yard too. I usually see them sometime in June in my neighborhood (Timbergrove) but have found them as late as October.

I've also found them, as well as the red version, in the Sam Houston National Forest.

I don't dare trust my knowledge of fungus enough to eat any shrooms not picked out of the cooler of a grocery store.

Been there, done that. Apparently I'm willing to trust a random international drug shop label over myself.

We get these "passion flowers" that grow in the vines all over the back fence at certain times of the year and you can supposedly eat them and make tea with em but they look so foreign and homoerotic to me not sure I fux with em. Apparently some CBD vape oils include it as a side ingredient too for the calming effects?

Was in Popeye's the other night when they started locking people out because they were understaffed and I was half expecting to get sprayed. The people were pretty cool though. Prob all high.

There's a pomegranate tree growing in the median on TC Jester. I picked a couple and ate them even though they weren't quite ripe.
