I didn't know that about Queen Anne's lace! We have a lot of it growing around here. Can you eat it?

When Tim Steele had a blog (other than his potato diet book blog) he convinced me that "paleo" wasn't as cut and dried as it's presented by some. I recall him talking about cattail tubers, tiger nuts, and honey among other things. It makes sense that people would have eaten whatever looked edible to them, finding out the hard way with certain foods such as mushrooms, when they made a mistake.

I can't find the exact article now that I read but it was about these "baby bottles" https://www.dw.com/en/scientists-un...many/a-50587532. The archeologist noted that despite them having been found periodically for years, no one figured out what they were used for until women scientists got involved. When they made replicas, they tried them out on babies, and sure enough they fit their hands perfectly and functioned well.
