Bill ShaneyfeltThose are good to eat if you wear gloves to pick and clean them before steaming like spinach. I like them. Supposed to have medicinal benefits too.

Mark BinghamTo Bill ShaneyfeltIndeed I did. I also noticed that the medicinal properties don't appear carry over to stings, and might even make them worse. :-)
And also that, according to the article, it's used "as punishment for severe crimes." I believe it!

Bill ShaneyfeltTo Mark BinghamFunny thing... as a kid in the early 1950s, I first encountered them. Not good!
In the early 1970s, I was told they are good to eat. It wasn't until the mid 1980s, after doing lots of reading that I finally summoned the gumption to actually try eating them.
I still occasionally get days long painful welts when I fail to pay attention while fishing, berry picking, etc.
Yup, I agree, kinda brutal, but memorable punishment!

Bill ShaneyfeltChicory. Edible and nutritious. I find it a little bitter.

Steve Miller/GrampiesTo Mark BinghamThey often have little carts on tracks that go up and down at the ends of the rows. The pickers handpick the grapes, place them in baskets on their backs, and bring them to the carts which carries the picked grapes down the hill. It is incredibly labour intensive work.
