  • Sorrel soup

    What can be better than to celebrate the coming of spring with a bowl of hot sorrel soup? What ethnic minorities sell sorrel soup in your location?

    I have never heard of it. Is the sorrel wild, or farmed?
    No, I did not steal that from somebody on Something Awful.

      Pretty sour stuff if you ask me.

        There was a show about edible foods in the English countryside which featured sorrel made into a tart. They had to use a lot of cream and sugar to cut down on the bitterness though.

            I'll check with my Lithuanian neighbour. As far as I can recall, none- you're more likely to get mulligatawny or halal chicken and sweetcorn where I live.

                Sorrel soup. Had never heard of it, but on looking it up it appears it may be worth a try. I am confused by why it would be limited to ethnic minorities though????

                  Because it belongs to Eastern European cuisine and has no mainstream appeal in the US.

                    That explains why I never heard of it, but from looking it up in wiki it seems to be prevalent from Vietnam through Eastern Europe. France seems to cultivate a smaller leaf variety. I imagine that it does not have much appeal in the U.S. because it is said to be sour? Most Americans tend to go for sweet over sour, but I can see it getting some attention if it is good.

                          Not sweet as in sugary, but as in "not sour".

                            The Booke says it tastes like pork.

                              Sorel, burdock root, and catching crayfish seemed to be the main things they found. Well, that as some berry which grows in salt flats but which needs a huge amount of processing to even get anything edible out of it. I remember they also found the roots of cattails to suck while they tried to make some sort of carbohydrate mash from the roots of fern trees but both of them declared it to be inedible.

                              Edit: Oh, and dandelion greens. They ate a lot of dandelion greens.
