I had no idea that you could cook with it! I learned about this plant (or something very similar) from where it grows wild in coastal Georgia. I thought it might be good to have on hand for first aid purposes.

Probably prickly ash - I guess it might be around here also?

Aralia spinosa

>Aralia spinosa, commonly known as devil's walking stick, is a woody species of plant in the genus Aralia, family Araliaceae, native to eastern North America. The various names refer to the viciously sharp, spiny stems, petioles, and even leaf midribs. It has also been known as Angelica-tree. This species is sometimes called Hercules' club, prickly ash, or prickly elder, common names it shares with the unrelated Zanthoxylum clava-herculis.
