@FarmerDill - I do see LOTS of folks eat Poke in soup bowls - but it is supposed to be poisonous unless cooked - even then not recommended by a lot of sites. (
https://www.mountsinai.org/hea... "All parts of the Pokeweed plant are toxic to humans. The highest amounts of poison are found in the roots, leaves, and stems. Small amounts are in the fruit.
Cooked berries and leaves (cooked twice in separate water) can technically be eaten. However, this is never recommended because there is no guarantee that they are safe. The roots should never be eaten"). Also warned here

We have Miners Lettuce 'weed' here - I found it had that green grassy taste and don't care for it. It is crunchy, I'll give it that but I'm not a starving gold miner so will stick to my other greens. It's great for the compost though as is shallow rooted and pulls up easily.
Been weeding both out the last week or so between storms.
