Before anyone says how daft to ban Daffs from being near the vegetable
section Iexpect that it really means 'bulbs' as they may be confused with
onions.


because daffs are often sold 'in
the bud' the stems and leaves get mistaken by Chinese for a type of
chive

Hard to believe, but maybe someone has mistaken them for Lemon Grass.


Looking in Tesco today, it's as I thought no leaves with our daffs;
and no recipe leaflet for them either; No way could you mix them up with
the bunched salad onions.

But if you didn't know your onions (sorry!), daffs in bud could well
be mistaken for these Chinese chives:

Have you actually seen the size of the chives?
Anyone used to using any sort of chive or other alium would be able to
tell by the smell.
