Sažetak
Croatia is a country of versatile plant use traditions, which are still not sufficiently documented. The aim of this study was to record local traditions of using wild food plants in the Dubrovnik coast. We interviewed 40 inhabitants of 23 traditional villages north of Dubrovnik area, mainly knowledgeable informants. On average 19 species were listed, which in total produced an inventory of 95 food plant (including the species whose leaves or inflorescences are used as recreational teas). The most commonly collected are: Sonchus oleraceus and S. asper, Asparagus acutifolius, Tamus communis, Cichorium intybus, Crepis zacintha, Allium ampeloprasum, Picris echioides and Foeniculum vulgare (all of them used as vegetables), the fruits of Rubus ulmifolius (mainly eaten raw) and the fruits of Rosa sempervirens and R. canina and the leaves of Salvia officinalis (both for making recreational teas). A peculiar feature of local gastronomy is collecting young Ruscus aculeatus shoots.
