Yep. This plant grew all over Europe (still does in fact), as high as Ireland, and is basically a slightly softer garlic. Companies are now using it in commercial food products again.
Also stuff like Cumin was spread by humans so early we're not even sure where it came from; but it grew in basically all monasteries in France in the middle ages, for example.
It still grows all over Europe I grew up eating this stuff foraged from the forest for as long as I can remember. As the food takes on hexbear go on and on and on my opinion that people need to earn a certification to talk about food here grows more and more, yesterday people talked how "Food from the phillipines is not good" and "Ethiopian food is just edible" and now this? I implore to everyone to talk less about food.
Like shit I literally made a ton of bear leek pesto and gave it to friends and people in the neighbourhood.

Yeah; often that stuff is still getting used and known about actively by locals in the countryside, and sometimes completely unknown (or with barely mentions) to the academic world.
Funny it's called "bear leek" where you live; in France it's known as "bear's garlic".
Makes sense considering I live one country over, I just think the "getting rediscovered" sounds weird to me because it'd be like rediscovering chanterelles there's also a clear uptick in americans going "If I haven't eaten at your countries restaurant it must suck, and I've only been to my uncle vinnies pizzeria and that foodtruck that makes gyros."
Look man, if Americans haven't found a way to make your country's cuisine into a panda express that means it's shit. Sorry that's the will of the free market.
Oh my god Ethiopians food is so good. Here have like fifteen kinds of stews and a giant delicious sour pancake to scoop them up with. As close as you can get to heaven with your pants on.
That's too bougie for most people (and you also have to be careful not to confuse it with lily of the valley), what you want is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alliaria_petiolata haha
I learned of that plant a few years ago from a botanist friend. You should harvest the leaves in early to mid spring and they smell exactly like garlic. The one time I went to collect some it was already late spring and they tasted too bitter to use (I tried making pesto). Used to be a very serf-friendly plant back in medieval times because it grows everywhere, peasants would go into the forest and other common grounds to forage for it on the daily.

Read through yesterdays thread if you dare

Somewhere in that thread
I'm sorry but I cant take anyone's opinion on food seriously if they disliked Etiopian cuisine.
Same. Injera is so good.
