Pickled Wild Garlic Buds
Wild garlic season is short. Even shorter is the window of opportunity to harvest wild garlic buds, before they bloom in to flowers. Pickled wild garlic bulbs are crunchy and aromatic, and taste delicious on thick slices of butter bread,

{Edinburgh} Family Walk – from Buckstone to Seven Acre Park/ Mortonhall
