I discovered wild garlic this weekend

Yummy!

Don't know if there any wild garlic woods in Sussex, but the smell is incredibly strong, but actually very nice and quite different to garlic bulbs.

I had it in a sourdough bread sarnie with a minute steak and mayo (naise).

Thanks for replying.

Went for a long walk through Roslin Glen on Sunday, absolutely loads of it everywhere, and then open up the Guardian this morning to find this:

Uncanny!

When you say you 'discovered' it... do you mean you found some growing locally and enjoyed the fruits of natures free larder? or did you 'discover' it as in read about it / saw it on TV / bought some on a whim and enjoyed it in a recipe... or did you just buy something with it already in?

We have it growing locally... and as you say, it is yummy - especially when snipped into an omelette or similar eggy dish.

Well, I was eating out at Hotel Seattle at the Marina last Wednesday where they had wild garlic soup on and I started reading up on it. I was at a farmer's market in London yesterday and noticed some so I decided to give it a go. You could say I really discovered it last Wednesday but the first time i actually used it was yesterday. Cor, it was lovely.

We were at a friends barbie yesterday, and one of the laydees had picked her own wild garlic locally and made a delicious wild garlic dip/relish type thing that went just lovely with lamb chops and new potatoes.

Yes, most deciduous woods round here have it. There's loads on the side of wolstonbury hill.

I tried some in Wales and it was surprisingly nice, freshly picked.

Tends to grow next to rivers - though I don't know whether exclusively..

While it may be nice, it is an absolute bugger to get rid of if it is in your garden.
