Our ancestors were Hunterers and Gatherers.
My mother must clearly be a decendant of
the Gatherers.
It is quite fascinating to see how she feels
personally responsible for finding the
mushrooms in the forest and then bring
them home, clean them, sometimes dry them,
cook them.
She of course knows which ones are poisionous,
which ones are considered not so tasty, and
which ones are delicious.
Even a non-gatherer like me know one of
the mushrooms she loves to pick.
Kantarell, in Norwegian.
Chantarelle, in English.
I love to eat chantarelle!
