[hyunseob900]

sushi mermaid.. never tried it. Did you know wasabi is a plant?

[derekstech]

Freak

[CrusaderofChrist111]

So quick question um is the brown part like the actual cat tail edible?

[icimblind]

@CrusaderofChrist111

You can eat it when it is immature and not brown. There is a youtube video on that by someone else. He's correct, make sure you pick them where the water is clean, no beavers, a running stream of known clean water.

[CrusaderofChrist111]

@icimblind Thank you for the response

[artsychic2000]

@CrusaderofChrist111 yes, you can eat that. There is a video here on youtube where someone bbq's it like a hotdog and eats it with mustard. You'll have to look for it though.

[digmatology]

@artsychic2000 I hate to break this to you, the guy that your talking about that BBQ and eats the top of the cat tail like a Hotdog is FAKE, If you look close at the end when they are eating it, it is really a CORN DOG

[AnimalExplorer]

[loveallhappiness]

[Jacqu371n3]

Good to know.

[guploo]

mmm yummy!

[Cr8Joi]

That was blissful. I learned something new in a very entertaining way. I love non sequitur humor. Went down like watermelon juice. Thank you.

[BushcraftBowyerKyle]

well, i must be doing something wrong, when i harvest mine( they have bloomed, so they have the brown "hot dog" on them) but when i get down to the rootstock its all woody and not soft and tender...so what am i doing wrong?...harvesting them too late?...

[freeandawake]

thanks for info. sorry, but the mermaid part wasn't funny...

[mwillblade]

I would eat the mermaid.

[corringtonj]

Loved the video. Can't wait to get out and try some foraging. It's funny I stumbled upon your video when trying to figure out what miner's lettuce looks like, because I'm in the process of reading Green for Life.

[palomine12]

So i'm assuming that cattail is a hallucinogen, and may turn me into a merman?

gettin' some

[Jacqu371n3]

@palomine12 haha that's hilarious.

[mike29571]

Note to self: Don't eat water iris.

[dukcaboose]

i think you can also use the cattail pollen to mix with water and make dough....

[mowriter]

sucks to be sergei...he doesn't eat fish (LOL).

[ninjacatmagic]

Cool Video......But you should really try curling your fingers in while you use a chef knife......I'm pretty sure Cattail Salad loses it's flavor with human fingers mixed in it.......

[laraskye]

awesome!

[scarygary76]

You need to learn how to speak. Try harder not to halt constanly while speaking, it is really iritating.

By the way, they are called "hot dog plants", not cat-tails. I am sick of everyone calling them cat-tails when they are clearly hot dog plants.

[1000MileLost]

LMAO hot dog plants

[JLubker]

Lol! You're so funny Sergei!

[MyCaracia]

Hello Sergei,

I love your videos. It would be great if you had your own show on the Food Channel! Please keep up the good work!

[megantmorrison]

Nancy, you make one hell of a mermaid! PS: How did you not drown swimming in that costume?
