I was impressed to learn mucilaginous but edible common purslane (Portulaca oleracea), nearly as rich in omega-3 fatty acids as fish, can be found in sidewalk cracks all over the western U.S., and especially in Albuquerque.
The plant has many uses, but I've used it to short-circuit orations by tedious people by reaching down, grabbing a bit, and unexpectedly start chewing.
It's greatest enemy is morons with Roundup.
