Possibly this is a case of clash between marketing jargon and scientific
terminology (Phlip, are you reading this??? ;  )    ). You know, the
impulse that gets hake, ling, and pollock to be sold as "scrod".

Certainly the garlic chives I've seen (at least the mature ones) fit the
descriptions of the Egyptian "walking" onions that have been posted and
are found on the Web.
