When you’re thinking about food from wild plants, you might be forgiven for missing out those spiny, vicious, unpalatable-looking things called thistles.

It’s just a shame I didn’t have the camp kitchen or I’d have experimented with some recipes. First stop was the local park, ‘Comune de Taormina’. There were some fantastic…
