You're right--I'm from Massachusetts. Chickweed likes it here and appears when it's fairly cool--spring, fall & early winter. It's nowhere to be found in the summer 'cause it doesn't like the heat; that's probably why it's not common in the deep south.
If you have a long cool spell, you might be able to find some in gardens, lawns, or disturbed areas. It likes rich moist soil. Good luck in your search...
Thanx for your positive comment-I'm always glad to help.
@byronlegend No that isn't chickweed-- it never exudes a milky substance.Most likely it's a spurge ("Euphorbia" Genus)--That plant does exude a milky juice & it's not edible.
As I mentioned to Caveman 0713, you can substitute something else like cream or cottage cheese for the tofu. I don't eat tofu much, but I don't eat too much dairy either, hence my use of the tofu. Just use my recipe as a template & then create your own variations... that's what makes doing this so much fun.
I'm not a tofu junky, in fact, Ive never eaten it.....EVER!!! But I think I'll pass on that dip that you made it looked like someone had already eaten it anyway. But where is chickweed found?
----re chickweed recipe: you can substitute cream cheese for the tofu. My recipes are a starting point-- they can be creatively changed to suit your taste! Chickweed usually grows in people's gardens--its a low, creeping plant, not very noticeable at all. in the summer & in hot weather, it's NOT around. The time to find it is when it's cool--up north September thru May-probably it's a different time in Alabama...--Blanche
You are obviously not from my area of the country :) Can I find chickweed in the deep south? By rivers? In the woods?
Anyway, your videos are helping me so much more than these books I bought!

@sethzky77 Hmmm...that's the first time my sandwich was described in that way; I think it looks colorful & unusual.

@thederb720 I'm sure it was good anyway.

Hi,
I have what looks like Chickweed in my garden. When you pick some you get a white, milky substance coming from the picked stem. Is that chickweed?
