Hello All,

We have quite a lot of wild garlic near us.

Can any of you tell me what it is good for and what ways there are of
collecting and preparing it ?

Soup.
SWMBO's family love it. Unfortunately.

Chopped up fins as a sandwich spread/dip with sour cream or cream
cheese.

Shark fins?

lol. Dammed spell chequers.

"chopped up fine"

It's the usenet company you keep. :-)

I have recently come across two distinctly different wild plants in North
Yorkshire smelling/tasting garlicky - one I think is proper Ransomes with
broad, thin, shiny leaves. The other had narrower, slightly fleshy leaves
and was putting up flower-heads a bit like a leek but much smaller. Any idea
what it was? Edible or not? (I tasted it and lived).
