Thanks for a new take on something that I've been ripping out (very gingerly I might add) and discarding from my gardens....swearing all the way to the compost bin!! They hurt for hours if you're not careful!

A couple of times each year, the Pascagoula chapter of the Audubon Society holds a wild foods feast that features foraged foods. This past fall, cattails were on the menu - they were sauteed in butter and mixed with wild rice. They were delicious! They look like leeks and have a texture similar to water chestnuts. I keep thinking I'll harvest some from the little swamp on our property and give them a try. There was a tasty vinaigrette made with foraged pecans and served on wild greens - purslane mainly. There was tasty gumbo made with our local seafood. A popular local favorite, smoked mullet, was on the appetizer table. Dessert was Mississippi blackberries with lemon curd made from local citrus. A very fun event! Did I mention the grilled alligator skewers?
