  1. I would have never figured that out. Do you ever use any "wild" products for your meals? Posted 10 years ago
    1. I'm pretty cautious about eating much from the wild, but berries I'm often happy to pick. I've made a bit of a tradition of baking one wild blackberry pie each year and will munch wild blueberries or huckleberries slong the trail. These little gems never last long enough to make it to my kitchen. They are way too tasty and really small. Chipmunks love them too. You may be scolded for invading the berry patch :p there are some in edible strawberry look alikes, but they are not too hard to distinguish and they are not poisonous, just tasteless.

The Virginia strawberry is one of two species of strawberry that were hybridized to create the modern domesticated garden strawberry. Its natural range is confined to North America, in the United States and Canada, although a popular variety called "Little Scarlet" is grown only in Great Britain, having been imported from the United States in the early 1900s.
