Don’t worry this is at my house not work

This is hilarious because I work at a major food distributor and was recently tasked with an unhappy customer who required us to inspect the produce for their orders.
It’s been like 4 years now working with 3rd party distributors and I can’t imagine why the hell these places buy our produce.

Had a sous once who was a fucking brilliant cook. Problem was he’d notice a patch of raspberries or some shit driving to work and show up an hour late cradling the rewards of his foraging in his ripped up, muddy from falling down a riverbank tshirt.

I grow them in my herb bed and they are green even in winter.

Haha. We had a vendor once that kept delivering us this thick, grassy flavored mint that was covered from top to bottom with a fine layer of dried soil. We used to call it their Roadside Mint.

The second thing I learned to forage as a kid. The first was sassafras.

My chive plant gets bigger every year and I forget that it exists most days. I have never watered it and have never fed it aside from what was in the soil i planted it in. It lives outside in a crappy plastic planter and it’s the healthiest plant in my garden year after year.

Tbf the stuff you buy has to be cut, sorted, bundled and shipped.

Onion Grass is a great forage ingredient, and one of the only ones I feel comfortable cooking and eating without a spotter (someone to tell me that I’m not eating Onion Grass).

Chives are super easy to grow. I have them around the garden and have never managed them at all. Other than eating them. 10/10

The spot I go Ramping in has garlic chive lining the trail for atleast 30 ft. I always grab as much as I can

I don’t have a produce guy and I definitely couldn’t find better those would be a godsend to be growing in the sidewalk crack of a downtown metropolitan area

I mean, once established chives are basically an unkillable weed. I also had arugula lettuce invade the lawn.

I’m not one of you all. I’ve never been in the food service industry. Seeing this post reminded me of my first deployment to Kuwait. We had a clothes washer and dryer by our shop. One day, we noticed something growing by where the washer drained (right onto the desert). We were curious, so we let it continue to grow. After several weeks, it turned out to be a watermelon. We let it grow some more and when it was ripe(ish), a few of us ate it. I’m not going to say it was bad, but it also wasn’t the greatest.
