Default Weeds

Over the last few days I've been reading the River Cottage book on Hedgerows
and foraging, then last night when I was going through my recipes I came
across a recipe for a Weed Pie given to me by a chap I used to know.

As a child this man grew up in the middle east in quite poor circumstances
but after migrating to Aus he did very well for himself and ended up being
an Adviser to one of our Prime Ministers.

He attended some classes with me and one day at lunch shared his weed pie.
It really was made of weeds such as chickweed and dandelions and it was just
superb - it reminded me faintly of those Greek Triangles made of spinach and
cheese in Phyllo pastry.

Has anyone else here eaten weeds or have a favourite weed recipe?
