ramps, schmamps...go pick some wild garlic
I'm starting something new and you're the first to know: I hereby resolve to produce one video per week. (I usually work well under pressure...we'll see how it goes.)
Here's a short video on foraging for wild garlic. I know ramps are all the rage, but they're also endangered and often over harvested, while wild garlic (aka field garlic, aka Allium vineale) is considered an unwelcome weed by most. As far as I'm concerned, its taste equals or surpasses that of ramps, and wild garlic is plentiful and free for the taking.
I'm a novice; please be kind.

The new Ellen Show, coming soon ...
Excellent! I just used wild garlic in a pesto. Looking forward to more of your videos!
Hi Ellen: Great Video! Do you also dehydrate the green stem? I'm reading your new book. The pictures are a great resource. Marion
That was beyond novice, Ellen - what a great video! I'm going to go out and see if the wild oniony things we've been cutting like chives are really wild garlic. I haven't used the bulbs yet but will dig some up now.
Hi Marion, I tried dehydrating the stem once but didn't feel that it kept much flavor. I didn't think it wast worth doing again.
Zoe, I bet you'll find a ton on your new land!
Eleni,
This is excellent! It really works and you, of course, are a natural. But next time you wear camo, I'm gonna want to see you shoot something.
More in the works?
