Those all sound very interesting ... but, what is a mayhaw? And what could those of us without mayhaws use as a substitute?

A relative of the hawthorn, the mayhaw tree originated in the southeastern United States. Mayhaws grow naturally in boggy areas, and they flower early in the growing season, usually around February. Red, edible fruit develops in mid to late spring, growing 1/2 to 1 inch around. Plant as an edible ornamental or cultivate this tree in the orchard for its tasty fruits. can be made into jelly, wine or syrup. an expensive jelly.

I guess that those of us in the Pacific Northwest are out of luck then. But it is interesting to read about.

Looks like, wherever we live, we all miss out on something. But we all, also, have something that others don't ;). Your buddy is right; huckleberries are delicious :)
