If you're US, check your state's conservation department website. They usually have at least some info on wild edibles you don't have to catch or shoot.

If you're not US, I dunno.

I find t hat you have to do tons of research yourself for the most part. Nice thing is that people spread edibles around the world. Most of them are now naturalized. Thus, many websites that specialize in wild edibles are more or less specializing in old food crops that went wild over 200+ years ago and were replaced with more modern plant types. Thus, finding websites for naturalized wild edibles will be easy, but finding websites that specialize in native wild edibles for a specific area won't be as easy.

>In my area
And what area might that be, or is this another one of your infantile guessing games?

Here in Texas there's a guy that does a pretty decent site:

http://www.foragingtexas.com/

Many of the plants are present in other areas of the country. He also has a Foraging - Idiot's Guide that came out last year ($22)...you can get it discounted and on Kindle.

You don't have to know every plant, just learn how to identify some genuses; Brassicas (all parts), Grass seeds and Rubus and Vaccinium fruits are all always edible, and they grow all over the world. Once you know what those four genuses look like, you've got 80% of the plants you'll want to eat. Just stay away from Solanum and Vitaceae, pretty much any wild plant that looks like a tomato or grape is going to kill you.
