garlic

In Italy, wild garlic ‘Aglio orsino’ is named after the bears that relish a spring feast upon it.  I haven’t ever seen it either growing near to me or sold, but luck is in I finally spotted it being advertised for sale in Abruzzo at the covered farmer’s market in San Vito Chietino with demonstrations of how to use it! 

In true Abruzzese fashion where nose to tail eating is standard, even with garlic, these moreish garlic scrapes known as zolle have become highly prized delicacies & are delicious served in a rustic Sulmonese style picnic pie
