Garlic mustard...? 🤔
That sounds awesome.
Perhaps culinary.
Ecologically, it is snuffing out everything in the woods behind my house
Its quite bitter and doesnt have the fun spiciness of regular mustard
Is it just a type of mustard plant or is it a garlic and mustard sauce/mix?
Alliaria petiolata is a pretty common herb in Europe (at least here in Germany) and it is related to mustard, cabbage plants and rapeseed. It does have a garlicky smell, but I wouldn't really use it as an replacement to real garlic. Garlic plants are not related to it at all and are very different. Allium ursinum (wild garlic) on the other hand is also pretty common here and actually tastes like garlic.
Its a plant, but I dont know if its a true mustard
I get it occasionally in my yard the last few years. It's invasive where I'm at. However I do see the appeal of it, it smells like it's name, garlic and mustard. I never tried cooking with it. I should next time.
