ransoms

They're like weeds mate. Damp shady spot and they'll go like wildfire.

Just had some on a salad today actually, they are just long sprouts at the moment with no flower heads but taste fine all the same.

Massive crop last year so made pesto. Still got some in the freezer along with the ramson and nettle soup - well scrummy still. Pesto is great in pasta but even better for garlic bread / damper.

This thread minded me that I picked a half jar of the fruits last year and covered them in olive oil. The stuff is glorious to cook with or if you like mildly garlicky salads or breads

My ex missus does a wonderful Ransomes Risotto.

wrapping lamb in ramson leaves then cooking in a ground oven is wonderful. Kebab baste made from the bulbs is also a favourite. No signs of them up here yet still a little early.

The only other place I know of that they grow is just S/W of Wrexham town centre, here in amongst the tree belt (or at least they did about 10 years ago) - if that's any use to anyone.

There's quite a lot round here, pretty much always tree shaded riverbanks and damp areas.
