Here's a list of food. Ones I've eaten are bolded, ones I wouldn't eat are struck through, and ones I've eaten and wouldn't again, both. The rest are foods you should make an effort to feed me :)

22. Fresh wild berries

I stand corrected. How have you managed to not eat wild berries? Is it excessive caution?

Some of them (even ones I'd eaten) I had to look up.

I love Foie Gras, and manage not to feel even slightly guilty. I am clearly overly hardened.

Probably!

I remember being taught very firmly as a child that one should not eat berries unless one knew for sure what they were, because some of them were poisonous.

Not knowing much about berries, I can't recall ever finding ones growing wild that I recognised, hence I haven't eaten them.

We will have to correct this....there's almost nothing better than eating blackberries straight off the bush!

Mind you, I'm talking as someone for whom going brambling was a regular part of late summer family activities.

I would happily be corrected :-)

Ah, I see. My experience is that being told to be careful also comes with 'you can eat this and this'. Certainly, blackberries are easily recognisable, and several others.

Clearly I am merely better at botany than I realised.

My parents weren't really country types, so the part about 'you can eat this and this' didn't happen!
