When I find them, I eat the hell out of them. Schnitzel'd is my favorite way to eat them. They are pretty inconsistent with their flushes though.

>I know even less about foraging. I would probably make myself sick.

It is pretty easy. Just look up local edible wild plants and fungi.

It looks great. The camera/monitor colors/contrast may be off a tad, but I think the asparagus needs to be cook a little less. It should be a brighter green than that, in my personal opinion. But, if it is still crisp then that is all that really matters to me. I just don't like mushy. I bet it is all tasty though.

I love experimenting.

>$6 for each jar

You can buy them at stores and online for like $1 each or less usually. If they are $6 each they may be antiques. Keep an eye out for blue atlas jars for instance, those will be expensive.

You know everything you make with cornmeal? That is what you can use masa for. Traditionally, you use it for tortillas, tamales, atoles, and a few flatbreads.

Those massive pots need 2 gas burners to get them to boil and they need to have a lid over them. You may want to invest in enough sheet metal flashing to cut out and rivet together your own pot skirt. Make it so there is a 1/2" to 1" gap all the way around the sides of the big pot. This will help greatly in getting temps up high enough to boil one of those massive pots.

There are no photos of the broth that was made prior to the photos taken in the OP. Sorry for your assumptions.

I've made similar. When I get a half a hog, maybe later this year, I'll be making all sorts of stuff like that with it.

/out/ has a garden thread too: >>>/out/107101

Stuff is just now coming up in my gardens. There's tons of volunteers.

Those massive pots like in the OP can be a problem to bring to a boil on a conventional stove.

>A peasant is a member of a traditional class of farmers, either laborers or owners of small farms
>How can you bee so peasant?

Easy, I don't have a monthly mortgage to pay and I don't need an SUV nor do I rent. Once I got rid of all debt I found that I didn't need to make tons of money. I'm extremely stress free now too.

And, here's a wild flush or chicken-of-the-woods I got some time ago (and posted on /ck/ several times, from hunting to eating them). This is what 17ish pounds of chicken-of-the-woods looks like. Each big piece was 3-6 pounds.

lol Dang, I forgot. It's past midnight again too. Upon review, there's not much to tell that you can't read ITT and from what I've already posted. It is mainly a waiting game and keeping the correct humidity, temp, and light
