This itty bitty is a leaf of lamb's quarter, which was nothing more than an edible weed in New Brunswick when I was growing up. Seems city folk use the mild plant to decorate salads, heft up quiches, and add texture to sandwiches. I heard they're good with cucumber and melon too.
My lamb's quarters came in my Bryson basket, but you can probably find it growing on the edges of vegetable gardens and on grassy patches throughout the city.

At first glance I am "like what do those city folk know, that does not look like lambs quarters to me". So I did the google thingie, and what do you know it is a mature lambs quarter and found out a whole lot of good things about LQ that I did not know. Mother Nature gives us food and we call it weeds. Time to re think food and weeds.
the name is funny.
Is that smoke? Did you burn this poor lambs quarter???
