    Both :)

    Leaves can go in salads or sauces. (or chopped in sour cream or mayonnaise)

    Depending on which variety they make an excellent substitute for garlic or spring onions. Apparently they're nice in peanut butter sandwiches too.

    It's widespread and locally abundant throughout most of Europe and found in damp woods and hedgebanks. :)

    Guess who's using his Food For Free book again :)

    Wild garlic grows in abundance near where I live, I've always wondered if I could eat it without croaking...ta much.

    I live in Yorkshire Murtle.... but fortunately not in one of the bits currently underwater. Mind you, a friend of mine who lives about 30miles away watched his car go sailing (literally!) down the street last night! icon11.gif

    oh dear I'm really sorry to hear that!!! maybe that's the problem for the garlic - it's not damp enough here, it's been in the 30's today with quite high humidity levels....soaked everytime I spend too long outside, but not through rain :eek:
