To All:

This is for real; I've put the recipe (and source book) on the prep forum. This same book also covers other delectables, such as how to eat grass.

Goin' out to the woods now. Yum!

Where's SeenItBefore@WWII when you need him? That guy could probably whip up a five course meal from a few pounds of sawdust.
