Outside our house, (and the adjacent, last house in the street) is the first bit of grass verge in a road approx 120 houses long. So what? Well, we are on the route taken by every dogwalker going to the 200yard distant municipal golf course. Every dog on it's happy, expectant way, leaves a little (liquid) memento, meaning the grass is a bit scrappy and typically dandelion infested.
Yesterday, I emerged from my garden to go damson collecting, and found two mature/retired (Koreans, at a guess), harvesting the young dandelion leaves.
Their English was as good as my Korean, so I had no way to implore them to give these leaves a really good wash before using them.
Maybe that's the delicacy? Much like cat poo coffee beans, or whatever it is.
Hopefully they are just feeding their guinea pigs (which may or may not then be eaten :/ )
