Eating Weeds

What the eff is purslane?


According to some searches I did, purslane is a green succulent that goes good in salad. Green, crispy, healthy, a little citrus-y. Lots of recipes with purslane-potato-salad. Sounds good to me!

You know what doesn't sound so appealing? Eating weeds off the sidewalk. Because that's what I read about here. The more I read, the more entertained I was - would love to see the neighbors' reactions - but I persevered and went ahead with the potato salad.

Purslane - leaves, buds.
Potatoes - boiled, smashed up.
Chives.
Salt and pepper.
Squished up sardines in olive oil.

Surprisingly delicious. And, as is evidenced by the fact that I ate the salad three days ago, not deadly.

Huzzah.
