Locals in Kashmir used to pluck (rather cut with knife under the rosette of leaves: when plant is young with no aerial stem emerged) young plants of Chicory (batti), Taraxacum (hand), Capsella bursa-pastoris (don't remember local name now), and a few more and cook them as delicious vegetable. This I remember 55-60 years back.
