Well count yourself lucky then. No need to grow it, plenty in the hedgerows, and if does take off at home there will be plenty there too. Three years from now wild garlic is all you will have in your garden, nothing else.

The only place where I know it grows is a popular dog-walking spot. Not ideal! ;)

take it off the heat and add a spoon of low cal marge/butter and stir though it helps to keep the gloss on the eggs and certainly not so dry.

Post by: Silverleaf on May 21, 2015, 17:29:41: Also if you've slightly overcooked your eggs, you can mask that by adding a bit of grated cheese.

Not so good for the waistline, but tastes good!

The secret with scrambled eggs for me is to cook them really slowly and keep stirring. Turn the heat off just before they're done, and time everything else so your eggs aren't sitting there waiting and overlooking. It's better to be a bit preemptive with your toast and have it going cold than perfect toast and overcooked eggs.
