<p>Driving into work this am, the woods were full of wild garlic, you could actually smell it in the car. </p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/e4klt.jpg" alt="enter image description here"></p> <p>I've always presumed that it is edible but I'm not 100% sure. Can you eat wild garlic? </p> <p>Which parts are edible? Does it have bulbs like the garlic you buy in the shops? How do I go about collecting, using, preparing it? Any recipes?! </p> <p><hr></p> <p>Wikipedia says:</p> <blockquote> <p>The leaves of A. ursinum are edible; they can be used as salad, herb,[7] boiled as a vegetable,[8] in soup, or as an ingredient for pesto in lieu of basil. The stems are preserved by salting and eaten as a salad in Russia. A variety of Cornish Yarg cheese has a rind coated in wild garlic leaves.[9] The bulbs and flowers are also edible.</p> </blockquote> <p>Which is great, but I'm not sure I trust wikipedia! <strong>Does anyone have any experience of eating/preparing these?</strong></p>
