Foraging for wild, raw food

Tired of the same old processed food? Why not pick what nature provides for us yourself? Liven up your walk and discover the foods all around you that Britons have been fuelling themselves with for centuries. Many of those plants you pass every time you go for a walk can form part of a tasty and nutritious meal or snack.
Note: Never eat what you cannot positively identify and distinguish from similar flora. Take care where you pick wild plants from, crop fields are often sprayed and built up areas polluted.
