You should get one of the books written by a Naturalist, like Yuell Gibbons (spelling?). He was a specialist in eating foods found in the wild--fruits, nuts, plants, shrubs, etc. He also provided information about what foods to avoid, being poisonous or just tasting bad. He is no longer alive, but his books should still be around.
I remember seeing him on TV once, and he was talking about morning glories. In Alabama where I live, morning glories are wild vines seen by the roads, along fences, growing up the sides of trees and into shrubbery. They produce beautiful flowers that are shaped like llittle trumpets. Some of them are white, with pink or purple interiors; some are red all over; some are violet-colored. Gibbons was telling us to dig up the plant and eat the bulbous root-thingey. It looks like a potato! He said they are delicious.
Another time Gibbons was telling us about poke salat. That's another southern wild plant. It's more of a shrub than a vine, such as the morning glory. I don't remember much of what he said about the poke salat, but I do remember that parts of the plant are poisonous, while parts of the plants make good eating--like having a pot of turnip greens!
Go find a good book or film about foods in nature, told to you by a specialist in those things. Don't trust local folk lore, because many of those old tales can lead to misunderstanding and getting poisoned.
