1860s Period Foods - Including Good Down Home Eatin'

[Jim Page]

. . . have you ever eaten honeysuckle? Anyone else ever do this?

We also used to pick wild blackberries - Still find these occasionally!

Betty, I did eat (if that's the right word!) honeysuckle and still do! We have some in the hedge in front of our house.

As for the blackberries, we used to pick those in the woods surrounding our family farm in Northern Florida, but seeing snakes and hearing of folks who had been surprised by black bears while picking berries took much of the fun out of it for me!
