lovely tour, thanks Wild Food UK team. Just a note though. Whoever does the captions does an extremely poor job with typos in nearly every single one of them. Feels like AI or someone who doesn't know the terminology does them. Not very professional! RUSTULAR? belitus reticulitis? sounds like a disease, rather than a delicious mushroom (lol)
That's youtube not us. We noticed that and have started putting our own captions in the vids for names of mushrooms but youtube automatically creates subtitles that you can turn off. We have no control over them :(
So glad to see a new WFitUK video 😎. Where I live in SE Lancs/South Pennines we call pignut 'harenut' and it is a splendid feature of our old unimproved mooredge pasture. I rarely dig up a 'nut' these days as I like the plant too much and it is also the foodplant of the chimneysweeper moth caterpillar which I also like. I've never found chanterelle's locally though.....😭
Very interesting to hear Attila speak with regards to differences in human senses of smell. I believe some people cannot smell asparagus in their urine while most can? I find the smell of flowering rapeseed in fields repulsive and my wife doesn’t understand it? Ladys Mantle smells vile to me too. There we go, we are all certainly subtly different in many ways. By the way stinkhorn does smell bad to me. Nagyon szépen köszönjük Attila..
Just starting to find Chants here in VT in the States. That recipe looks enticing. My buddy from Scotland who lived around the corner had an Aga stove; I had never heard about them before I met him. As I understand it they're Swedish but are really popular in the UK. What I never understood was the concept of a stove that's "always on". From the standpoint of energy use it doesn't seem very "green" and my buddy said that none of the plates are really hot enough to boil water, etc. Just curious. Thanks for another great vid Marlowe.
It must depends on where you find the chanterelles because i've always found they smell strongly of apricot, even just picking them and hands smell like it
I know of a spot somewhere on the South Downs where chanterelles grow in abundance. The only problem is that I'm not entirely sure I can remember where they are because it was about 23 years ago when I spotted them. I was parked up on top of the Downs and a woman came out of the bushes looking furtive and swore us to secrecy. It was about 40 miles from where we lived, so I kinda put it out of my mind.
I was in Canterbury cathedral recently. And they have a medieval garden in the grounds. I was surprised to find them growing red leaf plantain. Least of all because up to that point, I didn't even know there was such a thing. More likely than not, it has all the same properties of the other plantains. Its leaf shape was more in keeping with its broadleaf cousin rather than the ribwort, though
#Marlow please share where you got that amazing salt and pepper grinder from🙏. Been out today with one of your books and bags my gf got me for Xmas. Now watching this video and wishing I'd been lucky enough to find some chanterelles. Keep this wonderful knowledge coming
You know alot fella but i cant understand weather its fishing shooting or foraging everyone's turning into cooks? Iv been doing this stuff for 40 years, and could off gone on master chef, just stick at what yur good at!
