- inactive, on 06/05/2008, -0/+3I'm going to make a mental note about the spiders and insects.

- Dmizejewski, on 06/06/2008, -0/+1Glad folks are enjoying this article. I learned a lot about insect consumption around the world while researching it. One of my favorites (because it is so disgusting to the American palate) is the witchetty grub, which is eaten in Australia. Imagine chomping down on one of these suckers and having it burst open in your mouth!

Fiddleheads are good too, but I think it's bad if they are too ripe (uncurled)... My only suggestion is that if you're eating wild, make sure you know what you are doing and read-up in advance... but other than that, enjoy! Thanks for the post starfocus :)

There are actually only 5 genetically unique dandelion plants in the world; all dandelion plants are clones of them. I'd skip the arthropods and go right to beetle grubs, if I were you.
