Food Forager Gifts

"Why don't you just go to the supermarket like everybody else?"

Always empty your fridge before starting a diet.

The discovery of asparagus.

"I read somewhere that truffles are a gateway fungus."

"Dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt, onion bagel with Nutella and cream cheese, dirt, dirt, dirt..."

Baby squirrel & Berries

'I've no time for these foragers - they come into the area and snap up all the best houses...'

An experimentalist alarms his guests by describing the appearance of the mushrooms in a dish they have just eaten.

"I think the 'Exotic Recipe' diet will make me lose weight. I'm running all over town trying to find the ingredients!"

'Do I really have to remind you again about which one of us earns the truffles, Jean-Claude?'

'Ah, now's there's something different....'

"Never mind the porridge, someone's stolen my woodland mushroom collection."

"You're close, but you're not the record. The record for one family in one booth—all from out of state, each ordering a complete breakfast—was set in 1978, with fifteen."

" 'Unlimited salad bar' sounded better on the menu."

It's kind of a cross between hunting and gathering --- I calling it "taxing."

"You know, turning a hobby into a job kinda takes all the fun out of it."

'Thank you for noticing, Shirley - but beauty comes at a price, It hampers my hunting, limits my berry picking and typing's a real pain,'

"I think the milk's off!"

"You might call it shoplifting officer, but I prefer to think of it as foraging."

The mushroom pickers

A windfall pear falling straight into a bag of windfall pears.

Black Truffles!

"I love the way next door never tidy their garden - it's the perfect source of blackberries for our apple crumble."

'Never go berry pickin' on an empty stomach.'

It's a big ask.

'Hank, I know you're new at turkey hunting, but that isn't the way you call turkeys.'

'I'd always been told they found the truffles by smell.'

"I was going to go to the other slop trough, but the music's always too loud."

'Don't think its a coincidence that the chocolate is in the back and the fruits are in the front.'

"Don't be late - I'm making moldy meat and orange peels over coffee grinds with a side of egg shells."

Dieter sees 'Enter at own risk' sign on refrigerator

'Are these mushrooms or toadstools? And why are you holding the stomach pump?'

"I'm a hunter, gathering isn't in my job description."

For thousands of years desert dwellers have harvested the delicious dark red juicy fruit of the saguaro.

"I can always find the olives. It's the only jar that looks back at me!"
