Yes, it's another round of that classic guessing game - Animal, Vegetable, Mineral, Abstract [or any combination thereof]. This effort - '03/'04 should address any queries, but then again, may just serve to confuse and baffle which some might say is the point of the game. Patience, integrity and a decent search engine may be useful ....

Is the answer a particular tree (such as a maple tree, for example)?
Are we looking for the final product?
[CdM] - Yes
[Darren] - No, it's a tree
So we are looking for a tree that grows wild in Britain and which has an edible part that is not a leaf or a fruit or a nut or a blossom...
A pine tree?
Licorice?
If I'm right, someone else needs to carry the torch...
The mighty oak?
My "other" computer is an Acorn but I've never eaten one.
Is the edible bit a vegetable?
[CdM] - Good summary, But you forgot to mention that the edible part can be eaten raw and it is mainly used for non-edible products.

[Raak] - No
[Botherer] - No
[Rosie] - No
[Irouléguy] - No, the whole thing is a tree.

Willow
The bark is edible in small quantities but is mostly used for medicinal ones
[ImNotJohn] - No, but you're thinking along the right lines
Is the edible part the sap?
Alder?
[Raak] - Yes, but also the bark.
[Inkspot] - No
Is it from the salicaceae family of trees?
[Inkspot] - No
Family Fagaceae?
Jesuit's bark aka cinchona?
[Darren] - No
[Irouléguy] - I've never heard quinine bark called that before... No

Would a clue be useful at this point?
