The tender leaves and shoots of some varieties of smylax (aka catbrier, Ho Chi Minh vine, or ouch-you-filthy-cocksucker vine) are quite tasty. But be sure to do a taste-test before picking enough to make a salad. The vines growing on a friend's property about ten miles from my place are delicious, but the ones on my own property taste like turpentine.
