@feralkevin I never would have thought that there were so many. I will be guarding the ones I have now that I have tasted them---they are so good.

@DGAF2000 Isn't milk thistle Silybum marianum? I think the Latin refers to the white milk like markings on the leaves--presumably the Virgin Mary's milk! I've cooked the flowerheads on Silybum marianum, but the tiny thorns were so problematic--worse than fishbones in the throaat! The hearts were as delish as artcichoke hearts, though. Very nice. I don't recall trying the stems, but now I see Feral Kevin making use of the stems, it would seem a very good thing to try! As no thorns to catch one!!!

Om nom nom! :D

Wow. What a beautiful place! All natural and no chemicals or pesticides to worry about. Did our ancient ancestors went foraging for food like this? They called it the " good old days."

I tried them and they are delicious. Are all thistles edible? We have about 3 different kinds here.

@NewEarthWellness As far as I know, all true thistles (Cirsium) are edible, but many are not choice or tasty. Cirsium is a huge genus, I mean huge!

Canada thistle is edible in the same way, yes, however I have not tried it myself. It may not be as choice.
