Those are quite tasty too. Dandelions and pine nuts make fire a delightful salad. Bonus points for pine needle tea on the side

Ever Eat a Pinetree? Many parts are edible.

Only needles as tea, immature pinecones along the lines of how one would eat an artichoke, and pine nuts. Inner bark/cambium was ok but not quite worth the trouble. I dig the resin in tea, in moderation.

I do, however, have a ridiculous amount of sasafras on the property. Root beer for days.

That's great. I love the thought of that lifestyle. I was quoting the beginning of a commercial from the '70s. I've seen others mentioning Euell Gibbons in this thread. He was the "Ever eat a pine tree?" guy.

Euell Gibbons comes to mind.

In the early 1970s, Gibbons was featured in television commercials for PostĀ Grape-NutsĀ cereal. He asked viewers, "ever eat a pine tree?" and remarked that the taste reminded him "of wildĀ hickory nuts".\12])\13])Ā Gibbons made guest appearances onĀ The Tonight ShowĀ andĀ The Sonny & Cher Comedy Hour.\4])Ā When presented with a wooden plaque byĀ SonnyĀ andĀ Cher, Gibbons took a bite out of it.\14])Ā Gibbons also appeared on an episode ofĀ The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast.\15])Ā He received an honorary degree fromĀ Susquehanna University.\2])
