......er...pauline.....that's why it's called "wild" garlic...it...er....grows wild!! You will know it as Ramson or its latin name Allium ursinum. If you walk in a wood about now (it came early this year) especially a blue-bell wood, you will come across it by its smell.....er...garlic.
A very nutritious dish . Liked the texture of the pancetta wrapped around the trout Unfortunately couldnt use wild garlic. Have never seen it in our market. Other veg delicious.
