Description
A shot I took in early July in the Euganean Hills near Padova. A dandelion is called lion's tooth in Italian, Loewenzahn in German, French dent-de-lion, and El pisacà n (dog's piss o radecio de can- dog's radicchio) or pisa in leto (piss-in-bed) in Venetian. In modern French the plant is named pissenlit, (or pisse au lit French vernacular). Likewise, piss-a-bed is an English folk-name for this plant, as is piscialletto in Italian and the Spanish meacamas. These names refer to the strong diuretic effect of the roots of the herb,eaten roasted or raw/fresh. In various north-eastern Italian dialects the plant is known as pisacà n (dog's piss), referring to how common they are found at the side of pavements, where dogs often urinate. In the Veneto this plant is used in the local recipes and it figured prominently in the poor people's tables when this was a very destitute area before WW2.
Thank you for your kind comments.
