How would you introduce someone to wild food if they never had any?

I usually start with wild berry picking. Then move onto whatever else the person might like. If the person likes greens, then lambsquarters, etc. If the person likes cooking with wine, dandelions. Mostly depends on what the person...

What are some unusual food sources that you've found?
