you guys make a lot of fuss about a plant that is tasty and you can eat.

I just wish Kudzu tasted half as fun.

I'm aware it's edible, I'm saying it doesn't taste good.

There's no accounting for taste. Some people eat canned fiddleheads. There's gotta be someone out there that just loves the stuff.

Have you tried pickling it? I'm amazed at the number of ways humans have developed to make things that taste awful taste slightly ok.

if you're talking about Kudzu, it must have some value in that regard, it was introduced in the US during the Great Depression as a way to feed people. turns out though, when they aren't starving, people won't eat just anything.
