If you want to ask a question about wild garlic (and I've no idea, I'm afraid), you're best off doing it here:

Are you in danger of panicking because you (or some people you know) already have?

Anyhow, the BBC reckon you can eat the stuff (though I don't know why you'd actually want to do so, given their description and recipes!):

Sounds as if you are a

Who did say; 'you can eat anything some things just only once' "

Just in case it is a case of panic - yes, you can eat wild garlic (I think it's called ranson or something like that)

If, and I don't know if it is, 'wild garlic' is anything like 'fresh garlic', I.E., the garlic that ai't dried, and comes with the longer frehser stalk more like spring/salad onions, then you can eat it and it s lush makes great in soup *gets cravings for hot bowl of warm fesh garlic mixed mushroom, asparagus soup with crusty bread

You can eat Wild Garlic, it's common name is Ramson and it's a member of the Allium family. The leaves can be used like you would chives, the flowers can be eaten too. At this point i should say, it's illegal to pull up wild plants, so i should stick to the cultivated variety

mmmmmm
wild garlic
yes use it where ever you would use cultivated garlic, plus the leaves are very nice in a salad

Yes, wild garlic is edible, and very tasty. Use leaves and flowers in salads.
