A very common plant in hedges, shady lanes etc. This one is growing in a footpath across a cornfield.
Photo taken 9th May 2008.
When crushed the plant gives out a pleasant garlicy odor, so you might expect it to be a good salad plant. However when eaten, it hardly tastes of garlic at all and there is another taste I find not too pleasant. Probably best used sparingly in salads.
It's very common and pretty safe to experiment with as there's really nothing else you're likely to confuse it with.
