Mr. Shrimp's warning about his videos not providing enough information to make one a reliable forager is well taken. I figured that out long ago because I live in the USA, and I realized the difference between the flora here and that in the UK is far greater than I would have imagined. A little story on that point: My father grew up in the 1920's in a small town that was packed with recently arrived immigrants from many countries. The Italians (who were probably all from the same village in Italy) all became excited at one point because they had heard that an Italian man (whom they all knew by name) was coming to America. They were excited because he was an expert mushroom-picker, and they thought they would all have tons of mushrooms with him in the neighborhood. My father concluded the story by pointing at a hilltop and saying, "He's buried over there on that hill." As it turned out, this man's mushroom expertise was only valid in Italy. He died after eating some of his haul from his first mushroom-gathering trip in America.

Foraging knowledge is very specific to where you learned it, especially when it comes to look-alikes you need to avoid. I wouldn't even dare to pick chanterelles or hedgehog mushrooms abroad without confirming with a local expert first, because I have no idea whether there are things I might confuse them with elsewhere in the world.

While I'm a big advocate of weighing in general cooking, lacto-ferments are very, very forgiving. That's a 2L Kilner jar, and you're pickling stuff that's very similar in density to water, so instead of faffing separating and weighing around once you'd already added the water, I'd just have assumed 2%*2kg = 40g. And because I'm generally eyeballing when I lacto-ferment, I'd probably throw in another pinch to be on the safe side. I generally aim for 2.2-2.5% though, so it'd probably end up being more like 50g for that jar if I were doing it. Anyway, big fan of your videos! Thanks for what you do :-)

Great minds think alike! I found out that coffee jar lid / weight trick a few years ago, it’s revolutionised my sauerkraut. Also when I pickle and ferment hogweed shoots I weigh them after preparation and add the correct weight of salt directly to the veg,leave for an hour to draw out the excess liquid, pop the veg in the jar and then top up with fresh water. I’ve never had a batch of any fermented veg go bad- Just an idea to speed things up. Enjoy all of you videos immensely, we share a similar knowledge base when it comes to the outdoors, I however do not possess the technical ability to turn that knowledge in videos. Keep up the good work!

I was taught to massage the shredded cabbage with the salt to draw out the moisture, but also to break down the tough fibers a little bit. Makes it a little easier for the bacteria to do their work, afterwards. Makes for a somewhat quicker ferment, I think.

Lactofermentation is REALLY easy and very tasty! The main thing is keeping everything other then the vegge clean and making sure you're using the right amount of salt, buy some cheap kombucha pH strips (test 0-6 pH very cheap!) and maybe, maybe a decent kitchen scale but that is definitely optional. If you already vinegar pickle things its definitely worth trying lacto-fermenting. Lactic acid is sour without the sharpness of acetic (vinegar) acid and the fermentation adds a bunch of other fun flavors!

Awesome pickle! If I could add to your theory.... during periods of extreme drougt wetlands near the sea will still have green meterial that is edible by people and animals. Research done in south america had animals graze on the grasses and marsh plants near the sea. They found that the plants sequestered lots of salt. The cows consumed way more water than they otherwise would. Here's what I think. The people would soak the plants to get rid of the salt. I think someone put some soaking plants aside and forgot. Being drought conbitions with food scarcity, they ate it anyway.

Thank you for a wonderful video, and probably not for the usual reasons. As a South London school child of the 50's, my parents scraped together the money to send me on a school trip to Lulworth Cove. I didn't want to go but the money was paid (at a huge sacrifice) so I went sobbing. We stayed in a hut which was freezing. But my overriding memory (apart from being homesick and cold) is of climbing over barbed wire to get down to the beach. We were told it was mined and definitely out of bounds. Thinking now I guess it was the MOD firing range. My childhood memories are sketchy, but I have the scar to this day so it must be half right. Thank you for transporting me back there.

Good haul! I didn't see the whole harvesting process, but from the very first harvested one it made me think that it could be worth thinking about from which angle you're harvesting from in a public area like that. The bees and the plants themselves probably don't care, but since you were clear about other people visiting the area also, it could be worth keeping in mind to harvest the flowers and such at angles that will still preserve the beauty of the plant as much as possible for those who just want to spectate. Of course it's not something you need to think about during casual foraging, and as you explained you foraged in an area where it hardly even made a dent. But again, in such a well-visited area, it could well be worth thinking about such harvesting angles, especially when the plants grow in abundance. Loved the video anyway! Always nice to see your explorations into the countryside (and sometimes the wild).

One small comment - the saltwater is actually really important because Lactobacillus are one of the few bacteria that are not only acid-tolerant, but are also quite salt-loving. While most bacteria have trouble with the kind of osmotic pressure that saltwater created, Lactobacillus thrives in such conditions, and that's what allows it to outcompete others initially and drive the acidity up.

Oh yes, I did find this interesting for a number of things. I'm on a Pacific coast (California), and I'd never heard of Alexanders or Sea beets, and I do enjoy learning about stuff people eat. For a long time I have wondered where all of the pebbles on 'shingles' come from! I'm used to seeing mostly fine grained sand on 'beaches' with the occasional rock or pebble, shell, and/or litter,🤥 etc.. I used to wonder if it was trucked in. I don't recall seeing iron ore in situ (and I'd like to see the video of you smelting some!). For a good little while I've been thinking about trying to make my own sauerkraut (it costs a FORTUNE for what it is, and I could use a large quantity at times) and maybe even other pickles, but I haven't yet bothered. I think getting the salt level right will be the hard part for me. Anyway, I always really enjoy all of your videos but thank you very much for this, and I look forward to the continuation of this project and whatever else you do. BTW, I too was once invaded by three cornered leeks in a grassy area, and before we knew what was happening we had a very large mass of them. We had to move away too!😆 When we mowed the grass the whole neighborhood smelled delicious! It's too bad I never thought of cooking and eating them.

Ooh, looks worth trying. I have Alexanders in my garden (grown in the shade, it behaves itself and doesn't try to take over). Also, I have Ransoms, Common Hemlock, Walking Onions, Welsh Onions, Dandelions aplenty (inc 2 cultivated versions), and maybe a few springs of Oregano would go nice in there. I did grow the Alexanders from seed, understanding that future seed can be used as a substitute for pepper. Understand this - it is not a great substitute. I used it once for this purpose and never again. It's too bitter. However, the plants look so lovely and healthy, it's one of the few garden plants that are not attacked by pests or diseases, and the occasional leaf in a cheese sandwich is welcome.

Three cornered leek was plant that got me into foraging for the first time- I noticed a patch by the river I walk past to the gym and the smell made me curious enough to take some and do some research. Over the next couple years it's spread and taken over at least 1km of the river and I've noticed huge stretches of it in multiple local woodlands where I've no doubt it's killed a ton of local natives so it's now, like you, very much a love-hate thing. On the plus side I don't need to feel concerned about eating too much and it's essentially pointless to buy spring onions here, at least during Spring.

hoping you do wild edible videos more often, they’re always so interesting compared to other channels

Iv always got heavy floral flavours on the rare occasion iv tried Alexander seeds. It's personally not a flavour that appeals to me as I'm not a massive fan of overpowering floral. I am however lucky enough to have mustard growing along the clifftop near me and the leaves of those are lovely and sweet with a mild mustard heat. I could Imagine those fermenting very well as part of a sauerkraut

Nice move down to Dorset. I moved away from Devon 30 years ago to Cheshire, but would dearly like to move back again. I grew up learning foraging from my Father and we had all kinds of collectables from mushrooms to hazel nuts to winkles in our diet. There's definitely something better about own collected or grown produce.
