A Tibetan friend of mine got very excited when he saw a field of these flowers.
"I know these! I know these!" he says.
The next time I visited him he had made a aromatic vegetarian dish. It had a wonderful flavor...that I couldn't quite recognize. I asked him what it was and he said he had collected it but didn't know the English name. Turns out it was Queen Anne's Lace. It was so good. Who would have thought that this weed was so useful. I haven't collected any myself...but I think of that dish every time I see "the lace" on the side of the road.
