Caveat: do *not* rely on nutty neighbors or work colleagues (or
newsgroup lore). There are many excellent guides to "wild foods" and
edible flowers that will keep you from convulsing in agony after a
pretty salad.

I'll second that-- and should have suggested it when I mentioned
eating my weeds.

I would even go so far as to say 'Get two books." I have seen some
questionable [or misleading] advice in one or two otherwise great
books. A cross reference the first time around could save you some
bad experiences.
