lizziemaine, when you say "corned beef" do you mean the canned stuff? or the other ?

Miss Sis said:Definitely, Paisley. I completely agree. I can't actually eat much potato or very starchy vegetables (or carbohydrates) in one go but I can eat lots of greens etc and I feel so much better for it.
I guess everyone is different but I can't understand how people who don't really eat fruit and veg manage. I feel just awful - lethargic, sick and often headachy if I'm not getting all the good stuff!

Paisley said:My parents ate lamb's quarters during the Depression; I guess a lot of people did. They're actually pretty good.
You can also eat dandelion greens and nasturtiums.
Viola said:Dandelion greens and clover greens convinced me why spinach became the go-to cooked green of choice - it looks REAL good in that competition.
LizzieMaine said:Fiddleheads -- the shoots of immature ferns -- are another wild Maine vegetable treat, unaccountably fashionable among tourists. I always thought they tasted like a soggy sink sponge, but there's no accounting for taste.
You and me both!! I love milk but as a child I had digestion problems so the only time I could have was with my cereal and the cut stuff was nasty!LizzieMaine said:When I was growing up there were times when we had to drink fresh milk cut 50-50 with powdered milk to save money, and I absolutely loathed it.
