@ALETHEIA8881 He called it Eryngo, which is just another common name for sea-holly (Although it’s used moreso when talking about in-land species of Eryngium) ‘Eryngium’ is the genus that sea-holly comes from. You’d be better off just asking for sea-holly root if you were going to ask in a market.
Hi there, thank you for this lovely video… at 4:32 the sea holly you say the root was used for sweat dessert, i didnt catch what you called the root, could i bother you for the name… i would like to find some and try….
Thank you
Our phobia about wild edibles is largely unfounded. With very few exceptions, plants that contain harmful phyto chemicals give off a bitter or acrid taste. The compounds in plants have evolved for defense agains predation from insects to humans, making taste an important primary defense. In fact, plants that taste good to us and others have evolved t use us as a means of spreading their seeds. If plant toxins were so pervasive, kids would be dropping like flies.
In scouts they never told us about that, although it’s probably a good idea to tell kids never to eat anything growing outdoors. It’s fun imagining all the things we must have eaten over the last few hundreds of thousands of years before industry changed things and limited us to just a relative few different fruits and vegetables.
Take a look in a bag of salad Spring Mix and you realize there must be thousands of things you could eat just walking along a trail.
Lately I’ve been sort of fascinated by this type of thing.
dddddd
I’m surprised Wales has rivers that look like that (I’m american but I’ve been there). It looks distinctly south american.
“Rola Cola” LOL!! Great vid.
urine is clean when it comes out… so it’s ok to drink, but won’t bring much hydration. And as for eating animals or plants when in the wild…plants are easier to catch!!!
dont you just loveeee how the camera man zooms in on the skimpily dreesed horseback rider ahahaha i love this channel its amazing
what`s the name of the song in the begin of the video
thanks for this mate
just enough information to be dangerous
HAHAHA! I can relate to that
heh if they thought they are Grylls they would eat ugly things like earthworms, drink their pee and jump from rock to rock like Tarzan, ofcourse thats what they dont do they actualy show you whats edible and what could somehow save your life in future, if you get lost for instance and you dont have any food
Beatiful country.
where does haxel, hawthorne and holly trees grow?
I thought you were short.
alternative……..TV
rock samphire is actually what its called
i think its rock sand fire.
I’m confident that I’d end up with a bloated belly, dead in the wild if I attempted to differentiate and eat what I believed to be edible plants. I think you really need to know what you are doing to eat wild plants.
what is the name of the cola-flavoured plant? I can’t catch it….rock what?
must read this. once u have started there is no turning back. a little 10 year old girl was raped and murderded in 1945. her body was not found until 1947. then a boy last week read this and did not copy and paste this message. the dead girl appeared in his room haunting him and killed him. if you do not copy and paste this onto 10 vidoes in 30 minutes the dead girl will apear in your room tonight and haunt you and kill you. well you
