They came in my organic food bin yesterday. They look mostly like green onions, but taste like a mix of garlic and onion.
A little info from Mama Earth Organics:
Garlic scapes, which only appear on the finest hardneck garlic varieties, curl upward as they grow, ultimately straighten, and then grow little seed-like bulbs. Astonishingly, they’re usually discarded before harvesting in the most of the U.S. but are considered a delicacy by most chefs. Contained within the garlic scape is a great deal of flavour, although the stalk never does reach the level of the pungent garlic bulb itself. When the garlic scapes are still in full curl, they are tender and delicious. Anyone who wishes to add the taste of garlic to a recipe that calls for onions will find that using garlic scape will provide enough of a bite to fulfill the purpose of the onion, as well as give the recipe an added dash of aroma and flavour.
I’ve edited and uploaded about a dozen photos so far [set here]. The weather was all over the place, but I had a great Saturday nevertheless!
More photos to come…

Right now the weather in Ottawa looks unfavourable for flying this weekend, which means I’ll have to try for a biplane ride another day. Who knows, maybe the forecasters are wrong?
In any case, I’m going to check out whatever aviation exhibits there are in Ottawa celebrating the Centennial of Flight and maybe even get myself to an airport next week to see if I can photograph part of the Century Flight, an armada of more than 100 small aircraft making a commemorative journey from coast to coast, beginning in Boundary Bay, BC, and ending in Baddeck, Nova Scotia.
