malumbu Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 Tudeley in Kent. Not round here as it should be protected.

Ruffler Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 We picked some today in the Ide Hill/Toys Hill area near Westerham, Kent. Lovely bluebell woods in full bloom too.

Asteroidneenee Posted April 25, 2021 Author Share Posted April 25, 2021 Thanks all! I did not know of the saturday walking club I might join! Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/283041-foraging-wild-garlic/#findComment-1507306 Share on other sites More sharing options...
malumbu Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 There is a serious point about foraging. Out in Kent there may be loads of wild garlic which will be OK to take a relatively small amount. There are 'gangs' of foragers eg Epping Forest picking wild mushrooms for market and destroying eco systems.I once found a small group picking wild rocket on the Thames past Woolwich. In Sweden we picked wild berries and chantrelle mushrooms, but low population density and lots of land, plus it is something the Swedes (and Italians, Eastern Europeans and even the French do). A bit of cultural stereotyping.....I saw some bright red spotty mushrooms on a golf course on a walk out towards Surrey, they looked lovely and I should have tried some......

Asteroidneenee Posted April 27, 2021 Author Share Posted April 27, 2021 I am not getting your point about killing yourself with 🍄?For the wild garlic i'm attempting to bring it to my gzrden but failed last year i want to try again i love wild garlic pesto. Ang there's a difference between foraging and exploiting nature indeed...

Annie5 Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 I didnt know about the Saturday Walking Club. Will give this a go when out of lockdown. Thanks Malumbu :) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/283041-foraging-wild-garlic/#findComment-1507608 Share on other sites More sharing options...
malumbu Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 Mushroom anecdote was true but a bit of light humour. I could never find them when I was likely to experiment with this sort of thing. I should never have eaten that yellow snow they encouraged me to.

malumbu Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 Oh and cheers Annie4, it's nice out that way but a bit of pain to get to. The hop fields have gone but a few orchards remain. There are other areas around there with plenty of elderflowers in the summer too.

Huggers Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 I have the three headed leek species of wild garlic and it?s v invasive. I can cut some if you want but I wouldn?t advise introducing it into your garden.

Huggers Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 Definitely would survive but might escape! Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/283041-foraging-wild-garlic/#findComment-1508220 Share on other sites More sharing options...

malumbu Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 I made a wild garlic and home made pappardelle (chunky pasta) https://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/wild_garlic_langoustine_02012, as seen on Saturday Kitchen. I didn't use langoustine as don't eat animals.First time both for the sauce and making pasta - very messy but will give it another go Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/283041-foraging-wild-garlic/#findComment-1508930 Share on other sites More sharing options...
