The dean’s wife (of whose reliability I am certain) told me how she had seen people collect and boil the large ‘Aconitum’ [Northern Wolfsbane] and eat it like cabbage in the Björsjö inn in the parish of Torps in Medelpad. This had terrified her since they use the root for killing flies in Jämtland, but the woman who was cooking it scoffed at the dean’s wife and claimed that this was a plant that really should not be avoided.
