Much of the best food in the world is free. There are some of the foods which you can pick for free in Europe.

Every autumn, people all over Europe go out into the woods and fields to look for mushrooms (蘑菇). People in France, Germany, Poland and Italy are very interested in mushroom picking while people in Britain are less interested. You have to be very careful when you pick wild mushrooms. Some are delicious, but some are dangerous, and they can make you ill or even kill you.

How do you cook mushrooms? You can cook them in oil or in butter, put them in soups or eat them in salads without cooking them.

The most famous and delicious kind of mushroom is the truffle (塊菌). It grows underground in forests, especially in Italy and France. It is very difficult to find. Farmers usually go out with dogs or pigs. When the animals get excited and start to dig, they know that there are truffles underground. They dig them up very carefully. Truffles are very valuable. They can be black or light brown or white.

In the countryside, there are lots of different fruits to pick. In June you may find wild strawberries. The best time to look for them is in the evening. If you walk around in woods, sometimes you will smell them before you see them. The blackberry (黑莓) is also well liked. It grows wild round the edges of fields in September and early October. Blackberries are black and small and very sweet. You can eat them with sugar and cream. Or you can cook them for four minutes with some sugar and a little lemon juice. You can also make a very good jam with them.
