This useful link was just published in the bread group and I thought
it
would be interesting to some here.

Thanks, Graham! ;-)

Sorry - I hit 'send' too quickly. I was wondering how many urglers are
already growing some of the things on this list. I mean, we probably all
know that ramsons grow wild and were one of the 'fashionable'
ingredients
in many chef's dishes earlier this year, but who knew it as Bear's
Garlic.
What a lovely name! Sacha

Ramsons or Allium ursinum got the name, or one similar, because someone
at
sometime thought the leaves looked like a bear's ears !

I occasionally like to have a few leaves in a sandwich with some ham, but
when I asked the chef at a local restaurant what could be done with them
,
he said "Put them in the waste bin!!"
"One man's meat is another man's .........."

This year they've been very fashionable and have featured on many
restaurant menus!

They grow in swathes on the river bank at our local golf course. When in
flower the banks are a sea of white and the aroma of garlic pervades he air.
