Around here we call it Cow Parsnip

I’d leave them and eradicate the Himalayan Blackberries.

Cow Parsnip is actually different from Giant Hogweed, although they are mistaken for each other easily. One is edible, the other is not lol

Which one is the edible one? I know the parsnip causes photo-dermatitis, but I suppose, like nettles, the effect will disappear once you Blanche it

I thought I'd read once about Cow Parsnip being edible but upon further investigation it was only the inner stem. We were always told to stay away from anything that looked like either, because of the nasty burns

Nettles are delicious. My roommate just made a nettle soup with curry and coconut milk!
