I cant remember what plant has the common name of bread and butter. I think it may be two parts of the same plant.
Can anyone help me out and save me going through about 10 books to where I saw this name?

The young buds. We called them bread & cheese but probaly a local variation. Used to pick them and chew as kids. Ned a lot for a salad.
