I will stay tuned for the report :)

:) there's 55 species of Allium in Croatian flora, the most of them are edible, maybe 2-3 species aren't, I will find you some on lower altitude to taste it :)
Tiz
Ah bummer! Guess I have to climb the mountains of Croatia to get an idea what it tastes like then :)
Jopy
Thanks! No, unfortunatelly, it's very healthy but I never tasted garlic or onion, not even wild, I don't like the smell...
Tiz
Nice find! Did you taste it as well?
