    Iā€™m learning so much from you brother! Best UK foraging channelā€¦
  • @ajrwilde14
    I wish I knew people like you in real life.
  • @Kermitthebadger
    Man, I always wait forward to your videos but especially now when here, in Norway, snow is only just starting to melt away and nothing has started growing yet.
  • @chrisstokie2361
    Cheers mate. Very informative again. Keep em coming. I am learning so much. šŸ‘

    The elm seeds are dried saved and used by the Scandinavians for a porridge substitute
  • @marycorcoran238
    Great, just been watching your videos in the last week. I am munching on wild garlic, dandelion flowers and leaves, nettle and a bit of sea beet. Down here in Cornwall we have had so much rain. I will walk further afield soon. Love your videos

    I'm in my fourth year of foraging, and the video you made on the blackberry (or any other fruit) vinegar is really important because I have made a lot of it and it means I can enjoy bitter salads with dandelion, cleavers etc.. with the sweet vinegar and virgin olive oil. (But my god isn't olive oil expensive at the moment!)
  • Time to grab your basketsā¤ thanks for the amazing info and looking forward to seeing that salad! šŸ¤¤
  • @riddimchef1
    Another great relaxing video in the wonderful larder that is the UK countryside šŸ‘ŒšŸ½
  • Nice bit of gathering. Thanks for listing the plant names. We have a geranium that is similar to the Herb Robert. Considered a weed here. I leave them around.
  • @CarrieP-WJones
    Thank you for another useful video. I made garlic mustard pesto pasta for lunch today from your video on that. I used walnuts instead of pine nuts because pinenuts in the Co op were unbelievably expensive! (Got me wondering if I should gather my own pine nuts too.) The pesto turned out so yummy, way better than bought stuff. Thanks!

    Ever tried cooking your weeds and adding them to a chickpea flour batter then frying? Lovely! Gotta use onion salt, not granules with chickpea flour to give it taste. You can add any other spices and herbs you like, I tend to stick with cayenne pepper and oregano, turns out amazing like a super healthy vegetable burger.
  • @ponticum
    So enjoyable and informative, thank you for educating the public about the magic of wild foods.
  • @DeresFanTv
    This is a really good channel for anyone like myself who wants to educate themselves on edibles in the wild. I never knew that there were so many plants and fruits in the UK that are edible in the wild. Your channel and Atomic Shrimp's channel are two of the best on YouTube for foraging related content. Also,what's your advice for foraging if we live in a big city like London for example? Another good video. šŸ‘šŸ».

    Love this channel and learn so much! But I'm still not confident in how to store & properly use in cooking. Love to see a few extra kitchen video to go along with these. Thank you x
