So just the leaves then. Cheers!

I have heard cases of people eating the bulbs but they are supposed to be really really really strong, never tried myself like.

You're so lucky! I've been everywhere looking for wild garlic, haven't found any yet in north london.

You can eat the flowers aswell you know.

The leaves have a really strong garlic flavour when eaten raw in salad, but when cooked they loose most of it and end up very mild, and wilt like spinach.

There is usually loads on Hampstead Heath.

You can cook the flowers in butter as start for a nice stew or soup. Yummy.
