[Sca-cooks] Eating wild plants -- garlic mustard

[Sharon Palmer]

It grows rampant around here, and I'm sure I could send you some if 
you want to taste it.  I tasted some raw once and wasn't impressed, 
but I didn't try to cook it.

I agree that it would be a bad thing to plant anywhere that it 
doesn't already grow.  Like many other introduced plants, it crowds 
out native plants.
