MUNDRAUB

(Shoplifting the Wild)

Picture
23. July, 3 pm

with Magda Zahn

Prinzessinnengärten in Kreuzberg


Back
Did you know that there are many spots in our urban spaces, with trees and bushes full of fruit for you to harvest? Magda Zahn took us through a great tour through Kreuzberg, Berlin, where we found curious and delicious eatable treasures. Afterwards we cooked up a 3 course menu with our harvest at the well-known urban garden project Prinzessinnengärten. 

The philosophy of 'Mundraub' (Shopilifting the wild) is certainly adding a valueable resource for our Think-Tanks topic 'Forgotten Taste'.  here are some photos documented by Nora and Kit.  The research will be published in our book in the winter.

Madeleine Zahn has studied agriculture and nature protection at the HNE Eberswalde. She continued to extend her knowledge about eatable wild plants in the immediate nature in independent studies.  She works as a project manager at the initiative mundraub.org.

Goji berry,  (pinyin: gǒuqǐ) is the fruit of either the Lycium barbarum or Lycium chinense, two closely related species of boxthorn in the nightshade family, Solanaceae, which also includes  potato, tomato, eggplant, chili pepper,and tobacco. Native to Asia. Ha, and Berlin, Kreuzberg!

Linde (Tilia). There is a summer-linde and a Winter-linde.  Winter-linde has smooth leaves, where as the summerl-linde carries a soft fur on its leaves.  The young leaves and shoots are wonderful in salads, and if they are larger, you can make dolmas out of them.  The usage of the blossom for tea and sirup is more commonly known.  The Lindenbaum defines Berlin's cityscape and in the month of May it's smell too.

The Traubenkirsche (German)  hackberry, hagberry, or Mayday tree (Prunus padus),  is a species of cherry, native to northern Europe and northern Asia.  The bitter fruits are highly popular by the birds.  If you gather enough, you can turn them into marmalade or sirup.  They do taste very bitter, so usage should be only as dash for taste.

Mahonia aquifolium  (Oregon-grape ) is a species of flowering plant of the Berberidaceae family.  It is an evergreen shrub with pinnate leaves consisting of spiny leaflets, and dense clusters of yellow flowers in early spring, followed by dark bluish-black berries. These, to our suprise, with a wonderful sour taste. Great yams or sirups.

We made the most delicious pizzas from our treasures.  The guys at Prinzessinengärten fired up the Pizza oven for us, which of course, added the extra flavor.  Here you can see hops sprouts, nettle leaves, plum cherries and mirabelles.

Desert was out of this world.  We made sirup from the many mirabelles from Reichenberger Street. But we needed some substance.  There was some polenta around, so we simply used that. Here with vanilla quark whipped cream and the yams from the mahoni berry and the hackberry.

Corylus colurna (Turkish hazel or Turkish filbert) is native to
southeast Europe and southwest Asia, from the Balkans through northern Turkey to northern Iran.

Hops  Humulus lupulus  are used primarily as a flavoring and stabilizing agent in beer, to which they add bitter, zesty, or citric flavours.  The young fresh sprouts, like here, can be quickly immersed in boiling water, and eaten in salad or on pizza.  The hot water takes of the rough little hairs.

Cheery Plum (Prunus cerasifera)  are small trees reaching 8–12 m, sometimes spiny, with glabrous, ovate deciduous leaves.  It is one of the first  trees to flower in spring in Northern Europe, often starting in mid-February before the leaves have opened. The flowers are white or pale pink and the fruit is an edible drupe, 2–3 cm in diameter, ripening to yellow or red from early July to mid-September. The cherry plum is a popular ornamental tree for garden and landscaping use, grown for its very early flowering.
