mint Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 This afternoon, whilst out walking the dog, I came across what looks and smells like spring onions. They also taste like spring onions, except that they are tougher and nothing like so tender.I have brought a bunch home. Has anybody come across these things growing wild?I intend to put them in my soup tonight and eat them as I can't think that they can do you any harm.Any thoughts, anybody?

Dog Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 We have been eating them for the last week - I am mostly still alive - I think - they were selling them in the Grand Frais as wild garlic. Loverly jubberly free food!Strawberries in the graden are getting big but still green - we have a secret location for wild strawberries there are millions in this spot. Keeps you fit as to pick a kilo means you have to pick thousands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemonimo Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 They grow everywhere here - in the vines, in my garden, partout. I had some chopped up on wholewheat toast with butter (du guerande) and marmite! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mint Posted April 5, 2010 Author Share Posted April 5, 2010 Thank you, Dog and GemYes, soup was lovely.......onions, carrots, mushrooms, tomato puree, wholemeal pasta shells, frozen peas and the wild spring onions, of course.Toast from homemade bread, cheese.............nice but minimum cooking !

5-element Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 That wild harvest is fab. Just make sure that you pick it in unsprayed places: only too often the roadside and vineyards, are loaded with chemicals (weedkiller etc...). We have "poireaux de vigne" here in profusion, tiny wild leeks.Wild asparagus are around at the moment, although the locals always beat me to it...
