I never knew you could eat these! They are terrible weeds here in the UK so it would be nice to know they have a use.

What do they taste like?

@BIGMAMAHURT It literally means "piss in the bed." The dandelions are an ancient herbal treatment for bedwetting and urinary incontinence in France. Sometimes French is very vulgar. They have some of the rudest euphemisms for things! I've published lists of French dirty words and insults in magazines such as BATTERIES NOT INCLUDED.

@slobomotion

pissinit? that what dey called? lol damn that crazy

[papillonaquatique]

@slobomotion Oh yes completely! Chicory and dandelion are delicious and good for you!

[slobomotion]

@papillonaquatique Hee hee hee! I must say I drink darn little coffee but if it's not mostly chicory, I won't touch it. Coffee is dreadful here in France, anyway. I've been running a small export business to the States for years now. Those packages of chicory are very popular. They are cheap and make great gifts. I only sell packaged stuff with labels, so it's all legal and declared. No caffeine, which screws with our CNS, and again, it's nourishing.

@slobomotion Oh don't get me started on Europe. Those Brits with their Dandelion and Burdock. Most awful drink ever invented.

I wish the chicory here in the US was more plentiful. It is getting pretty hard to find what should be common plants.

@papillonaquatique This is done in France, also chicory. These are nourishing, healthful beverages. My spice lady outside Paris sells cherry stems! People throw them out in the States, they have no idea!
