I love it. Apparently, they used it in my local cooking culture for many years to thicken stews. Now, people see it as one of the worst weeds they want to get rid of. Such a shame that so much knowledge is lost. Only one generation ago, they still cooked with many of the wild plants, now people poison their gardens to get rid of essentially free food.
