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.

Not that chinese chives look anything like salad onions.. but eaten at
this stage they do look a bit like small daffodils in bud

The Chinese also use the closed buds of daylilies in cooking; and they
too look like the tightly closed daffodils sold in supermarkets.
