As a kid I read a book called “My Side of the Mountain” about a young boy that ran away from home and lived in the hollow of a huge tree for almost a year. Even though it was a work of fiction, I remember clearly how I destroyed my Mom’s blender grinding acorns to make acorn pancakes (just like in the book).
It seems that enjoying foods “gathered” from the wild would be pretty close to the heart of Paleo living. I enjoy finding wild blackberries, dandelion greens, chickweed, plantain, lambs quarters, nettles, purslane, and persimmons. Anyone else forage for wild foods to provide at least an occasional adjunct to a meal?
