Came across this article from Smithsonian Magazine entitled, You Can Eat Your Christmas Tree: Here's How To Do It, just after Christmas. I was intrigued, to say the least, so of course I clicked on the link.
UK-based artisan baker and cook Julia Georgallis published a cookbook entitled, How to Eat Your Christmas Tree. Thirty recipes along with sustainability tips surround Christmas & live Christmas trees. The article supplies three recipes from the book. Christmas-Cured Fish, Christmas Tree Pickles, & Christmas Tree & Ginger Ice Cream. It was fascinating to read that the different types of trees have different tastes. Fir is rather zesty, Spruce is orangey or also vanilly, while Pine is floraly. Cedar & Cypress are poisonous & should never be used. Our tree this year is a Fir. But we also have plenty of pine tree's since I live in The Pine Belt. I probably won't do the fish, because fresh fish isn't easy to come by here (it's all been frozen first), but I certainly want to try the other two! And perhaps our local library will get a copy of this book in & I can see the other recipes.
