Get any book by Hugh Fearnsley Whittingstall (known here as Hugh Fearlessly Eatsitall) or anything about the River Cottage (cookbooks) from you library.

Hugh will eat anything and is a master of hedgerow cookery. The guy can make a 3 course meal out of stinging nettles, puffballs and blackberries, all harvested for nothing from the area he lives in (Dorset, not all that far from where I was brought up).
