Wild Garlic Tales

Off gathering wild garlic for storytelling and cooking for next Saturday's Farmer's Market in Okehampton!

Ransoms and Bear's Garlic make a good start!

There is an interesting mix of tales and snippets with a garlic theme.

• A tale from the Odyssey in which our hero avoids being turned into a pig by having wild garlic leaves tucked behind his ear
• A strike by Ancient Egyptian pyramid builders who wanted fair pay in the form of their garlic ration
• Garlic eaten to protect travellers from mountain tigers in Korea
• Gar is old Keltic for spear and leac for leek so a spear onion
• Allium Ursinum or bear's garlic because bears like digging up the bulbs!

.. and more!!
