I was also on that same tour with "wildman Steve" & Lil Violet in Prospect Park recently. It was very enlightening, I now tip-toe/walk in the park with much more knowledge and respect. GREAT!!..

If you live somewhere where soil may have been tainted by a great big spill or some other kind of eco-disaster, then definitely second-guess; if not though, a good wash and rinse just like you would any green you buy from a grocery should suffice in my opinion.

(Or perhaps the NY parks people do not use them?) I'd love to actually make the dandelions currently taking over my lawn useful, but having only had my house for a little over a year, I'm not sure what the pesticide risk is in anyone tried to kill them with chemicals before we bought the property....

I guess the saying goes, "give a man dandelions and you feed him for a day, teach a man to find dandelions and you feed him for a lifetime", right? And I used to pull up wild onion or wild garlic when I was little too. Here's more pics of them for reference: http://pubs.caes.uga.edu/caespubs/pubcd/C867-3.htm Yvo: so true, but now that I know what dandelions look like they’ll always be $0… I guess the saying goes, “give a man dandelions and you feed him for a day, teach a man to find dandelions and you feed him for a lifetime”, right?

The dish you made probably would be on a menu for like $23 and it cost.... $0? (Well, cost of tours to make sure you're not getting poisoned.)

Funny now I wonder if that was wild garlic... when I was a kid, I had this terrible messy habit of pulling on tall grass. I once pulled one and my hand smelled like onions.. fresh onions... and I later realized it smelled like something in my mom's kitchen- scallions/green onions, and it looked like it too. I didn't pull it out so I only smelled the top- wonder if it was wild garlic or scallions? Interesting... Haha you had me until you said the doppelgangers/jekyl & hydes. that scares me.
