As a kid, blueberries and strawberries. Sometimes we went to local farms and paid by the pound, but I also knew locations of numerous berry patches. The wild strawberries were tiny but close to home. The blueberries were prolific but you had to keep an eye out for wild gourmets.

I also picked unoffical apples. I was travelling with a friend in Connecticut and came across an orchard that had already been harvested. We filled a sleeping bag with what they had left behind and brought them back to the school cafeteria for pies and applesauce.
