An appetite for anything.

I think I'm sticking pretty rigidly to border tradition where eating is concerned, in that if something looks edible, eat it!.
I know that sometimes mistakes can be made, but then one learns from those mistakes (usually!!).
Personally I'm quite partial to the garden and all within it. Spring is a wonderful time, when the boss and his wife spend a lot of time 'weeding' in the garden. This seems to entail pulling up plants and throwing them into a bucket (the strange things they do). I find it great fun trying to, and usually succeeding in, pulling the weeds out of the bucket and running off somewhere to eat bits off them. They can be tasty but more often than not are quite nasty. Still it's great fun having mom chase me to retrieve the weeds - only for me to go back and snatch them out again.
Sometimes I take them indoors and leave trails of mud and earth everywhere - this really annoys them. My older sister is better behaved than I am but I guess she was just as bad when she was young. She does, however, enjoy her greens and often stands over particular plants completely demolishing them. This 'green' in the diet does seem to help when the tummy's a bit upset,
Plastic is another good chewy material, though not very tasty, and plant pots in particular are great fun. The knack is to pick them up properly or risk obscuring vision.
