Good evening Hannah, love a good forage, nom nom! We know of a few safe things to forage and graze, Scarlett Elf Cups and Wall Penny Wart, we learnt a heap load more here in this video too! Nettle tea, and soup too, yummy! Lots of vitamin C too. Great to see so many people getting involved too. Thanks for the video, really interesting. Have a goodie, Ceri and Kat ☕👍♥️🤗
Mmmmmmmmmmmm Well that was a fun one! So many different things out there to eat! Cant figure out how you pick the nettles and handle them without having to wear some kind of hazmat suit though! haha! And did you really enjoy the Jelly-ear? 😂 Fantastico as always 😀 Take care and see you verrrry verrrry soon! MJ & Tarryn
That was so interesting! When I was young (which was a very long time ago😀) we used to call the hawthorn leave 'Bread and Cheese' - not sure if that was just a local name. And the chocolate bit of the 'jelly-ear and chocolate' sounds good, but I'm not convinced about the 'jelly-ear' bit - I suppose I should give it a try! I must come on the next foraging walk.
Oh yes I have heard of Bread and Cheese, I think Michael might have mentioned that. I don't think I was convinced by the jelly ear - I think you might have been able to tell from my reaction!
G'Day Hannah, very interesting video. Vince recalls visiting a castle in that area. He's told me about foraging for wild foods (bush Tucker) in Kent. Imagine so much great food for free at your doorstep yet so few people know about it.
Hi Julie, yes Chilham Castle is just down the road. It is incredible how much free food is available to pick a short walk away. Hope you are both well.
@@TheWildNative we are both well thank you, in the middle of our winter so the combustion fire is on most of the time. We need to get out walking more and be wild natives, you inspire us every time we look at you posts. :-)
Ahh cool. Foraging can be really fun. This video doesn't do us much good, seeing as we have completely different plants that grow on this side of the Atlantic, but if we find ourselves stranded in the wild in Britain, this might be a good reference. Actually, might have spoke too soon. We do have dandelions, quite edible, not so tasty. Can be a pretty big difference eating something... well, edible, versus something that won't likely agree with you. Ever stop to think about the trial and error that went into discovering which things you can eat and the ones you can't? Like, people quite literally must have died in the process... sometimes horribly. The lucky ones just got the poops. We're quite glad nature taste testing isn't much of a profession anymore.
I often think about the process that has gone into identifying which plants are safe and which plants are highly poisonous! Eeeeeek, the realisation when you ate something dodgy and that was it, life over. A bit like the chap from Into The Wild! Thanks so much for watching :)
Most engaging content, now that is truly the stuff of a wild native! Superb stuff, Hannah & Michael!
One day I hope to go and forage for food myself and then I'll truly be wild. Thanks William.

Ha yes nom nom nom! Loads of vitamin C and iron and protein in foraging. Glad you enjoyed it :)
This is Awesome! We really enjoyed watching your video! Big Like + new friend + full view. Have a great day!
Thanks Anthony and Angie. Hope the travels are going well.
Made me hungry watching that 😄, imagine foraging for a banana in the English countryside 🤣. That was very cool👍😁
Ha! Yes I know what you mean. I was hungry that's why I had to eat the banana!

Ha ha ha! We learnt how to pick nettles didn't we! I have a funny video of that!

@@julienash9470 YES be a wild native!!! It is hard when you have a cosy fire on though.
Loved this foraging walk. Have been thinking of going on one locally, is there a particular time of year when this is best?
I’ve heard foraging is best in Soring/Summer and Autumn which makes sense. I think there is always something to find.

(-!
slow is good
Slooooooooow was good!
