Does anyone watch this on BBC2? I really enjoy it .. and yesterday a guy made a puree from... wait for it ...

ribwort plantain! They were all discussing how they had never heard of it before, and I felt oh so knowledgeable! lol

They used the brownish heads not the leaves, and apparently it tastes a like ceps!
