Freedman's compilation of thousands of plants that people all over the world will eat ... not normally considered crops or edible but are consumed in times of famine ... presented as an ironic trophy for our country so rich with food ... the "salad" ... consists of strips of paper, each with a plant listed with the Latin name, vernacular name and preparation of the plant or parts of the plant for food."-- Website description (23sandy.com)
