In Mary-Jane's outpost book, there are recipes that call for wild herbs. I tried the dandy green pasta made with dandelion greens taht was in the book, it was delicious! There is also a recipe in the book for a coffee/tea like drink that is made with roasted dandelion greens.
The blooms of violets are edible. I love the flavor of violets, I think they have a nutty kind of flavor.

The Essential Herbal just had a big article on this. My family loves dandelion fritters- pick young nearly opened dandelion flowers that you are sure have not been sprayed or near anything or area that has been sprayed. Make a batter of 1 cup flour, 1 cup milk, 1 egg, 1 tsp baking powder, salt and pepper to taste. Dip the flowers in the batter and fry in an iron skillet with olive oiluntil they are puffed up and a little golden brown. Yum!
