I've seen a lot of wild dock growing on the way to my apartment from school. Rumex crispus is the scientific name. I've keep taking some home. I've been gathering them from a place in town and they come back bigger and stronger. They grow in really acidic poor soil, but have nutrition themselves.
The flavor is a really tart lemony flavor. They taste better cooked. I've stirfried them to bring some sweetness to them, and they went nicely along with my meal tonight of kimchi, tomatoes, fish, and rice, and dwengjang jiggae.
