Punishing puns! and spoonerisms and malapropisms etc.

Chives, here in Britland, look like a grass and you cut leaves as needed and chop them into little rings.

What some Americans call "scallions" or "green onions" seem to be what we call "spring onions" - tops like large chives and a bulb that can vary in size, from not much wider than the stem to a globe maybe 3/4 inch or more across.

One of my favourite foods, so versatile raw or cooked - part of the "holy trinity" of Thai cooking, along with garlic and ginger . . .more of my favourites.

Chives growing in a pot. We cut off the 'blades'. These are chives in the UK. I've never seen anybody eating the roots.

Shall we start a food and drink thread, Tank?

[joeactor]

Yes... That's what I call chives as well.

What did the mother buffalo say when her son left? Bison.

We already have a foodie thread, I think.

We also eat the chive blade in the US, chopped up and put on baked potatoes, usually.

What's the difference between a bison and a buffalo?
You can't wash your hands in a buffalo.

Mixed with cottage cheese or a cheese sauce is nice as well. I have used then as a garnish, sprinkled over fried chicken strips just before service - just the gentlest taste of onion.

Since we are talking food, lettuce turnip the beet.  I donut understand puns, usually.  But I try to romaine calm.  But if the subject is food, peas don't make me hungry!  All this talk about foods that I can't eat is bacon my heart.

"The who?"

"You know, the fruits, flakes and nuts!"
