Alas, you will never have the fluffy tail and beady eyes of our squirrelly friends.
But my eyes are so close to being beady!
Proud to be wimpy! Wimps get fewer diseases!
Hooray for fire!
Like CATTAIL POLLEN. Apparently it can be substituted one-for-one with flour, and the author likes to make baked goods with half-flour, half-pollen.

There's also a chapter on crawfish which I am not going to be foolish enough to read.
I feel like if it has legs to run away from you with, it's no longer strictly "foraging."
they abandoned the acorns with great glee because wheat was way easier
Lol, I can just see them chucking acorns over their shoulders and being all, "TO HELL WITH THAT." Acorns as a staple crop = recipe for sadness. How hungry did their ancestors have to be, to think, "Hm, when I boil this the fifth time, it's not quite as disgusting as the first four times around!"
No, but that is hilarious.
It says they were thinking about putting up "Git off mah lawn, you little punks!" -type signs, but then decided that that would just tell the foragers where all the good spots were...
