In this episode, I identify the cattail plant, harvest the cattail shoots, and cook them. Their consistency is like that of an udon noodle. Could this be the next kind of vegetable pasta?

*Post-release update: In some states of the US, and in several other nations around the world, it is illegal to harvest cattail. Make sure to refer to your local laws first before picking cattails for yourself.

    My favourite part of the cat tail is the part that’s connected to the cat

    I once took a bite out of a cat tail and ended up inhaling the seeds and vomiting then violently coughing for 5 minutes. Bad idea.

    I want to sleep. I need to sleep. But I can't. I must learn the ways of deep-frying the forbidden sausage.

    My favorite part is the flower(Cigar Part) because I give them to my kids and watch them try to beat each other with them. It keeps them occupied. Soak them in kerosene and light them on fire and they're even more fun; the cattails, not the kids.

    I remember I'd eat random berries and plants as a kid, cat tail included. It's a wonder I was never hurt.

    As the price of groceries has skyrocketed, this year, I’m going to focus on cattails as a food source. Thank you for showing us how to cook the stems. I usually pull up the shoots in the spring and eat them raw as I’m standing by the patch. Onto your next video
