  I've got a nice recipe for wild garlic omlette if that's any help? I say recipe but it's basically adding wild garlic leaves to an omlette...
  

  If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

  Eating that many omelettes might be a bind.

  Are we talking
  
  Ramsons = Allium ursinum

  or Three-cornered leek = Allium triquetrum ?

  And here's me trying to cultivate some.  Too hot and dry down here, I think!

  A good hoeing is worth two waterings.

  Dovefromabove  it’s looks like the second one. Three cornered leek. I’m in the south of England. It’s growing rife no matter what I do.

  We have it here too. We keep eating it and keep weeding it out ... not really sure which of us is winning at the moment. 😂

  After 5 years of trying to get rid of it out of the garden - it was planted by the previous home owner - I now only have a few to dig up every year rather than breaking out in a cold sweat looking at 10m2 of them.  Be careful what you wish for with these blighters....
