I am wise enough not to touch fungi I don't know (Do you have chanterelles, Cantharellus cibarius, in BC?), and will only pick berries that I know or have seen other people eat. From what I can see on the web there are a lot of leaves & flowers (weeds) that are common in Scotland and in BC, so hopefully we will add some good flavours to our salads. Not sure about seaweed, shellfish etc - will probably stick to purchasing to be safe, but hope the OH will catch plenty of salmon, trout etc to make a licence worthwhile.

Have fun in Canada.
Request a double double with 6 TimBits. You'll have that figured out soon enough.
