Poison sumac...NO.
Pois...Hi Teri - glad you asked! Poison sumac...NO.<br /><br />Poison sumac (Rhus vernix) has white berries, which droop. <br /><br />Edible sumacs (Rhus typhina,R. glabra and others Staghorn and Smooth sumac, respec.) have upright berry clusters, quite distinctive, and fuzzy orange, making it easy to tell them apart.<br /><br />My husband came into contact with poison sumac in the summer, in a bog, and lived with the consequences for over a month. Awful.<br /><br />Now, your sumac. Are the berries white? Or orange and tightly clustered, and upright?Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13632520557553405790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8603107829473043654.post-73313772498684951432010-01-04T22:37:24.789-05:002010-01-04T22:37:24.789-05:00When you're talking sumac, are you talking abo...When you're talking sumac, are you talking about the bush-like plant that is related to poison oak (or is it ivy?). I have a sumac tree in my yard but never thought anything on it was for eating. These crab cakes look delicious! My husband is allergic to fish of any kind so I always have to wait until we go to a restaurant to order any. I'll have to look for crab cakes next time! My Mom used to make Salmon patties when I was a kid. They, too, were yummy.Terihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13046623774704584939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8603107829473043654.post-35341098435060682072010-01-04T22:25:59.809-05:002010-01-04T22:25:59.809-05:00Hey Kary - ooh, thank you.

Mostly to do with how fresh the crab was, but the orange sauce was so yummy with them.<br /><br />Thomas - Yes: Crabcakes I Have Known, the Memoir. Makes me want to go to the MD shore (Cantlers, outside Annapolis)and eat them on trays with little hammers and plastic cups of beer :-)<br /><br />Hey Ellen - yuz, crepes. I hadn't made them for so long. Need wider pan. I used to grind my own sumac, but I hadn't foraged it...I got it from Turkey. I buy powdered from Sahadi. But I have tasted the wild sumacs (I didn't make the association until this year!!!) and the berries taste just the same to me so yes, I would use yours, after dusting off the fuzz. It's a great seasoning for roast chicken, salad (parsley, onion, tomato, sumac, olive oil/or the same, subs. walnuts for tomato)...Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13632520557553405790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8603107829473043654.post-55431460457848523492010-01-04T22:09:26.752-05:002010-01-04T22:09:26.752-05:00Man that looks good!
