Lovely post, Fiona - field sorrel is so delicious and widespread - was the first thing I showed my grandchildren how to recognise by the river in Wales, where it grew much taller and juicer than it does in short grass.
If you dry sorrel leaves, grind and mix with icing sugar you get sherbet :-) The recipe is my wild book for kids. I heard you mention sorrel in Gilly's podcast. It is overlooked. The young leaves are yummy.
