Who's ever eaten a finger lime, quandong or Davidson's plum???

Ripper of an ep incoming!
No Casey again this time unfortunately, but Sam had a ball interviewing Mark Tucek of TUCKERBUSH.
Mark is responsible for developing one of the best commercially available range of Australian bush tucker plants in WA.
Mark was kind enough to bring about 15 of his plants into the studio for Sam to sample.  Sam decided that his new favourite bush food was "Muntries" (Kunsea pomifera) and that it took the lead from his previous fave of the midyim berry or Austromyrtus dulcis.
In addition to the delicious muntries, Sammy also tried native river mint, cinnamon myrtle, native thyme, native basil, coastal pigface.

Why not hit mark up and replace your lemons and apples with Australian native Lemon myrtles, midyim berries and Finger limes.

**NERD ALERT
We decided to talk about something a bit different in this one - Plant taxonomy and classification!
Knowing a little bit about distinguishing characteristics of plants and a bit of latin, comes in very handy when you're trying to identify that mysterious blue flowering creeper or strappy grass. We focus on the plant family SOLONACEAE.
Hopefully ya'll aren't too bored by this and you'll appreciate how truly, truly nerdy Sam is.
Enjoy!
Peas!

How good's growing your own fresh, seasonal food outside your back door?!

In honor of Casey's new, epic cook book release, this one's themed around growing the best food plants from around the world. We also trade tangents on how various cultures, i.e., Morocco and scandinavia have developed their own distinct combinations of flavors using herbs and spices that occur naturally in their respective bioregions. Very interesting stuff!
Thanks for listening ya'll
