Has anyone tried eating this ...According to my book it can be added to stews,or used as a veg ...

Can be eaten raw as salad, too! There are differing opinions, though, on whether young or mature leaves taste better.

Just make sure it's nowhere near a dog walking path... You could have additional flavouring.

My friend mistakenly planted ground elder all over her garden - she thought it was wild strabs - ill have to tell her it can be eaten - that'll cheer her up!

Grrrr.. ground elder...

It is evil, evil stuff... I have it everywhere... I don't even want to grace it the dignity of eating it... it doesn't deserve to be treated well.

According to one GQT panel member - it's nice in omelettes

I tried it with a 50/50 mix of spinach, you would have thought it was all spinach

Do you mean the ground alder or the couch grass?

senior moment alert ... sorry guys I did try ground elder last year

just been sorting through recipes and stuff and found the ones I tried but I cant remember for the life of me what I thought of it ... couldn't have been to bad so will try again and see if I can remember this time... or write on the recipe what I think ...

lists, lists and more lists ... I dunno what I would do with out notes...
