Mushrooms? Tomatoes? Only in my dreams, it is too dry here for any of those. In the desert you just take what is available, spit it on a stick over coals of a fire, enjoy! To quote an old marine : it may support life, but not morale”!

Penny, if it wriggles, it’s edible- just depends upon the sensitivity of your palate. Though there are some creepy things one shouldn’t eat, go with the maxim I was taught: is it red? You’re dead. (That doesn’t hold for plants, but use your own discretion.)

PS: I’ve never understood the value of mushrooms, so if anyone can elucidate and educate me as to their nutritional value that can’t be found in other, more easily recognizeable plants, please feel free to let me know.
Thanks.

In place of potatoes, get yourself some cattail roots and slice them up, fried or boiled.
As noted earlier, ‘fresh’ roadkill doesn’t have the maggots, so you lose on that protein source.
For spiceing it up, get some locally grown ‘weeds’ such as coriander, sage- whatever you can recognize. Make a salad of dandelion greens and cattail stalk spiced with lemon grass. Have a cup of fresh chammomile or rose hip tea to wash it all down. For dessert, locate an apple tree or some raspberries, maybe even enough wild strawberries to make a pat’e, or my favorite, Juneberries.
For your evening drink, have some dandelion root coffee as you tell tall tales of wonderful deeds done in the secret of night in strange, far-away lands filled with demons and democrats….

Back in a minute- I’m hungry.
