Just a difference in opinion I guess. I am a great lover of wild foods.

Well, the spotter says it is good for pickles...but personally I think we ought to leave some stuff for the wildlife to eat! :)

I think Raksha's suggestion seems closer than wild cucumber. Wild cucumbers (at least what they call wild cucumbers in New England) are prickly
