CirsiumThistleOther names: Spear thistle (Cirsium vulgare), Scotch Thistle (Cirsium acanthium) Spear Thistle (Cirsium vulgare) is the most common of the Cirsium species in Australia and New Zealand. Tim Low says that they are a most fine vegetable and a good introduction to eating weeds. Also, the thick tap roots can be eaten raw or cooked, but are only palatable on young thistles before they flower. The flowerbases are also edible like an artichoke, but too small to bother with.
The soft down inside the seed head makes an excellent source of tinder for fire making.
