Stumbled on this and thought it was worth a share. I had no idea you can eat gorse!

I had no idea you can eat gorse!

It's flowers are meant to make a nice wine/mead

For real? I saw that referenced somewhere and assumed the author was just being fanciful.

I really want to try gorse now but I don't know where any handy gorse is.

Look up gorse flower wine and cordial, I've not tried it myself, but must try to make some gorse mead one day

Found it! Also there's commercially made gin with gorse!
