My family likes to pick a big bowl full of yellow dandelions and then make a dandelion-rhubarb pie. We make it a point to do it at least once a year as a kind of seasonal tradition.

When I was much younger and times were quite difficult for me, I just about lived on dandelion salad for the better part of a year (and only escaped getting poisoned by an herbicide because I had a habit of blanching the plants I was planning on eating by putting a rock on top of them the day before).
