So this link provides some / many recipes for wild edible plants.
Regarding fungi and mushrooms.....I strongly advise avoiding them.....especially in a crisis. I was a licensed paramedic who worked in EMS for almost 12 years, I was certified as a HAZMAT instructor, I volunteered in a pouson control center, and I have a degree in organic chemistry (not to be confused with biochemistry, as I don't want to misrepresent myself).This is a fun blog I found a bit back that's all about using foraged plants and fungi.

You're welcome.Good info to know Kevin L. Thanks for posting.
I won't presume to tell you about European plants and/or mushrooms when I've never even been to your continent, let alone your country....but that advice makes my skin crawl, and I intend no offense or disrespect.with my local "rooms" I just follow that simple advice my dad told me, if you bend a piece from the cap and out comes white liquid,it's safe,if its clear: don't eat it.
here it's more difficult to give advice about "rooms" as we live on opposite side of the pond..and there are differencies
Interesting stuff about mushrooms, but how about some recipes on wild game/edible plants?
That's the problem. I can't open links from my cell phone.

I do have a laptop, but I don't have internet where I live. If I want to use my laptop I have to drive 20 miles to town and use the laundromats internet. Once the house is done I'll have satellite internet installed.Do you have a computer? If so, just go to archive.org and search for wild game recipes. They have a bunch of recipe books you can download for free, and others you can "borrow" for 14 days.
When it comes to preparing many wild game animals, a common theme keeps coming up--they even pointed this out in the Disney movie Lion King--is that it "tastes like chicken".I do have a laptop, but I don't have internet where I live.

Eventually I'd like to take advantage of downloading recipes, but I was hoping that some of the members here would share a few of their favorite recipes too.
Your right when it comes to just cooking the animal. But many critters need some pre prepping to make them more tasty. For example, some animals should be par boiled before cooking. Others should be soaked in milk or salt water to improve their flavor and to tenderize the meat. Some small animals are so lean that they need to be cooked wrapped in bacon, my personal choice. For bear sausage I like to grind the meat and add pork to it.When it comes to preparing many wild game animals, a common theme keeps coming up--they even pointed this out in the Disney movie Lion King--is that it "tastes like chicken".
So, why not just use a favorite chicken recipe for woodchuck, rabbit, gopher, 'possum, raccoon, and so forth?
I've eaten woodchuck, and I liked it. It was served deep-fried after dipping it in egg and then batter. This was when I was a kid in upstate New York....as the people I was with at the time didn't think I had it in me to eat woodchuck.
I showed them, as I really liked it. I didn't even find it to be particularly gamey.
Not as good, but good to know in a pinch. Amazon sells activated charcoal for your medical supplies by the way.Kevin L. I did not know that burnt bread could be used as activated charcoal. Thanks for the tip / info.
