Wild Spring garlic



At last, wild spring garlic is upon us. At my Mothers house a few weeks ago, my daughter came into the house and threw some grass on the floor. Whilst picking up my daughters mess, i caught the mildly sweet aroma of garlic and found myself grinning from ear to ear. She had foraged earlt wild garlic shoots (thats my girl!). I am currently using it where i can. We are bringing it from our nearby woods, close to the hotel. It is only around for about 2 months, if that! The shoots blossom also which make a great garnish to a seasonal sald or soup.
