Childhood memories of going swede pulling with my Dad - he would pick small swedes for us children, 'peel' them with his penknife and then we would eat them like a lollipop, lightly seasoned with dirt. My own kids ate blackberries, wild strawberries, any fruit straight from the hedge, vine, bush whatever and were NEVER ill. My friend was paranoid about washing everything her kids ate and they were always poorly. I inspect blackberries that I think might be a bit iffy before eating them raw, but I work on the basis that cooking them will kill any beasties.
