Flesh of the karaka berry is tasty, but DON'T EAT THE SEED its poisonous
As a kid I was told to not even eat the flesh, then a few years ago watched my father in law do it and learnt it was only the seed that will kill you.

I have a sudden urge to put a disclaimer on the comment above like "I take not responsibility for the stupidity of others . . . ."

Oh and bracken root tastes like dirt even after boiling, mashing and a good lump of butter.
