 | price discrepancy Aug 2, 2009 |
| There seems to be a price discrepancy between the this site uk price (£2.93) and the this site us price ($23). How would you explain this? | | | | An excellent little book Mar 24, 2009 |
| This little gem of a book should be in every backpackers back pocket. Concise, focused and descriptive you'll have no trouble identifying the plants and shellfish. There has been some comments about lack of information on animals to eat, this is probably because rabbits, pheasants and such are classed as game and will belong to the landowner. Whilst it's ok to pick a few plants, mushrooms and shellfish it will probably be frowned on if you start blasting away at the countryside or setting traps! | | | | Connect with Nature Jan 3, 2009 |
Fun and free ways of connecting with the local countryside - it worked for my kids like a dream:
Me: "Let's go for a walk!" - Kids: "Groan..."
Me: "Let's go and collect free things to eat!" Kids: "Yay!"
- and of course I taught them never to eat stuff without checking with me first - so gradually they learned to recognise plants and know where to find them and to care if their favourite hedgerow was being ripped out - a great start to caring about the planet. And this book is small enough to take with you and comprehensive enough to be useful. | | | Write your own review about Collins Gem Food for Free: A Fantastic Feast of Plants and Folklore
