Hey Rich,
It was ready this morning and there are two ways detailed to cook it, So just had some for breakfast. I eventually found some ransoms last night, miles away from any water where I had been looking
. The only thing I omitted was the blackcurrant leaves, as the bistort is quite blackcurranty anyway I don't think it lacked anything because of it.
The dish itself is quite tasty, last night i made a soup with some of excess that I had gathered but was very disappointed as the bloody dandelion overpowered everything. I went to bed wishing that I had not put in the dandelion and thinking that the whole dish was ruined.
However, it was very very nice. Not an acquired taste at all, which I had thought it would be.
It kinda sets like a thick pancake batter in the frying pan and has a good texture.
If I had just barley and oats out on the trail I would have no qualms about knocking up a meal based on those ingredients. You kinda expect it to be crap but its very good.
I will try some baked also later.
