The late Euell Gibbons authored a number of books on wild foods such as 
"Stalking the healthful Herbs," "Stalking the Wild Asparagus," and stalking 
the Blue-Eyed Scallop". He was hired as a television spokesman for Grape 
Nuts until the night on the Tonight Show when he described them as tasting 
like cardboard, as I recall.  He et his last wild thing several years ago.
