Update: I ate clover and it tastes horrid. If God had wanted me to be a vegetarian, he would have made me a rabbit.

Yep. Rabbits convert vegetation into something edible. It's called rabbit

You must not have added the onions and lobster.

Wild cherries, crab apples, may apples, pine nuts, hickory nuts, duckweed (water lentils)...if you starve in the woods, it's your own fault.

Forget the may apples. Poisonous if you eat enough, whole plant is toxic, and even small doses act as an emetic [i]and[/i] cathartic, so spewing from both ends is not a good survival strategy either.

I guess I've never eaten "enough" of them to get sick. My mother made May Apple jelly every spring. Much like the passion fruit, really only collecting the nectar around the seeds.

I am a bit behind here.  Would like to get a bit more info on the Oyster Mushrooms.  One website I found said the gils should go straight and form into the stem.  Anyone got any suggestions for them.  Also, how many or how little should I eat to determine if they are safe?  before i give to the family.

 

Thanks

My suggestion would be to have a car idling with designated driver if you're the least bit unsure about any of it!

If I don't post for more than 3 days, start looking...

Anybody heard from Unclejak?

Here I am!  Thanks for looking in on me!  I was afraid that fruitcake did me in, but I made it.

Fruitcake, under any cirmumstance should never be considered edible! LOL Glad you made it.
