These recipes, all contain Heather as a major wild food ingredient.
Almost all Britain's heathland is covered in heather which is generally heathland heather (Calluna vulgaris). This is a rather scrubby shrub, the young tips of which can be used to flavour ale or mead (see this recipe for heather ale and this recipe for heather mead).
The flowers are also edible and make a colourful addition to a hedgerow salad or a boiled pudding. If you have an acid well-drained soil then you can use heather to cover a wall or as part of a rockery with the benefit that you can use the flowers in your cookery!
