Well loved garleek, onyons and eek lekes~Geoffrey Chaucer (1340)
I had a story all ready for you, but raised my own questions when tweaking my recipe, so at the last minute, (editors nightmare!) I changed my topic to LEEKS. I remembered from last year, that some of my recipes contained leeks as well, so I dug deeper.
Leek is a vegetable, it belongs to the “Allium” family, now most gardeners each year, decide which genus to choose from to plant in the gardens. There are so many variations to family. The family tree contains garlic, onion, the Chinese onion, chive, shallot, scallion, kurrat and elephant garlic. They are all closely related vegetables with different taste, flavor and fragrance, and also use differently in foods.
