Meal Fit For a King

Out in the field is a bed of chicory, down along the ditch, wild hydrangeas grow. Dandelions in the yard are quite tasty, so is the duckweed by the side of the road. Wild lettuce, lamb’s quarter, and some wild onions, there’s watercress, fennel, grape leaves, and cherries. We also have mallow, milkweeds, oxtails, chives, Chanterelle mushrooms, morels, and blackberries. Along with sassafras, raspberries, and more, you’ll have a lunch that will make your stomach sing. God bless all of nature’s wonderful bounty, providing an Ozark meal fit for a king.
