This is a badge bit (
BB) that is part of the
PEA curriculum. Completing this BB is part of getting the sand badge in
Foraging.
Getting samples that are clearly identifiable as the desired species is critical and is the hardest part of this BB.
PEA permits the purchase of the plant and focuses on preparing and eating it.
Minimum requirements:
- Prepare 6 dishes from species that are commonly foraged (not something that is rarely foraged)
- One cup minimum per dish of the species
- There must be at least one sample of each species that is clearly identifiable
- This could require more than one purchase/acquisition
- Can be a twofer with
PEP foraging BBs
