104 Lost Foods Items That Can Be Used For Survival
99. Cattail Pilaf
A cup of dry rice, two cups of chopped cattail shoots, some chopped onion and
anything else you have lying around will make a delicious pilaf. Sauté the onion
and cattails in sesame oil then mix with the cooked rice. For best results use wild
rice, but ordinary long grain from your long-term food store will work fine too.
Adapt the same recipe into soup by adding a pint of broth and simmering for 15
minutes.
100. Cat-on-the-cob
Cattail heads can be cooked and eaten just like corn on the cob. Boil them for ten
minutes, drain thoroughly, then cover them in melted garlic butter. They’re
delicious, and free.
