EatTheWeeds is a site dedicated to enjoying wild edibles around the world.

I'm a life-long Greek bachelor with a degree in music and graduate studies in communications and photography. In short, I'm paid to play, write and click. I'm the author of many articles and two books — under my English name — 1001 Facts Somebody Screwed up and 1001 More Facts Somebody Screwed up. Odd personal facts: I don't own or watch television, and I am, through one grandparent, a descendant of a Salem witch -- Susanna North Martin -- and a member of the Mayflower Society and Mensa.

I inherited foraging from both sides of the family. On my father's side rural Greeks still forage regularly and on my mother's side she, my grandmother and great grandmother all foraged. As a child I was often given a knife and sent out into the woods or fields to collect this or that for supper. I can still remember my mother walking through the woods nibbling on various plants, as her mother taught her, and her mother's mother taught her.
