Baked Fish with Wild Ginger
Stuffing
1 pike, two to three pounds
1 c. sliced ginger root
2 tbsp. butter
2 tbsp. lemon juice
1/2 cup bread crumbs
1 tbsp. salt
Wash and scrape the ginger
roots and slice thinly. Then clean
the fish, removing the backbone
but leaving the head and tail on.
Preheat oven to 450 degree F.
In a skillet melt the butter, and
when it smells nutty, lower the
heat and add the sliced ginger
roots, lemon juice, and bread
crumbs. Simmer for five minutes
and cool. Rub the salt inside the
fish. Fill the cavity with the bread
crumb and ginger mixture. Lace
up the fish with string. Place in a
shallow, greased baking dish in a
preheated oven. Bake for 30
minutes, basting the fish oc-
casionally. Serves 4. (from Edible
Wild Plants.)
While collecting wild edibles
can be fun, sometimes it can also
prove to be a bit of a challenge.

Marsh Marigolds
marsh marigolds found in most
swampty areas this time of year
can sometimes require that you
don a pair of rubbcr wading boots
first.
The marigolds, also known as
cowslips, are found all across
North America , even down to
the tip of Florida. Settlers knew
the first sign of marsh marigolds
not only meant spring was
definitely on its way, but also
meant they'd have some fresh
greens again after a winter of
subsisting on dried fords.
You may read that marsh
marigolds are poisonous. but if
you cook the plant, this removes
the plant's poison. called hel-
leborin. Don't under any circum-
stances, sample the plant when
you're collecting it.
Marsh marigold leaves
(cooked) can be substituted for
cabbage leaves and marsh
marigold meat rolls make a tasty,
and interesting dish. Whcn pre-
paring these rolls, cook them in a
400 degree oven for 45 minutes.
But one of the more interesting
dishes prepared with the leaves of
the plant is Hot Marsh Marigold
Salad.
Hot Marsh Marigold Salad
10 large marsh marigold leaves
1 clove garlic
c. salad oil
2 hard -cooked eggs, chopped
'/s c. red wine vinegar
'/. tsp. pepper
1/8 tsp. pepper
