I've never eated Quinoa on purpose, bought it at the store, or cooked
with it.

From the preface to the recipe below:

"If there’s one thing that’s a certainty in San Francisco, it is that
weeds grow all over your backyard. This forced me to do some gardening
and upon pulling out a shit ton of weeds, I stumbled across a patch of
Miner’s Lettuce! To me, this was like finding free money. I’d frequently
go to the farmer’s market to get this stuff, and now it’s growing in my
backyard!"
