Hi Kath,
Although not Allium sativum, I have had what I have tentatively identified
as crow garlic bulbils (Allium cf. vineale) from six Roman corndriers at
East Anton and Finkley, Andover, Hampshire, UK (unpublished draft report
2013). Twenty-four probable aerial bulbils were present (3x4mm, ovoid to
ellipsoid with central embrionic shoots and clear Allium-type cell pattern)
amongst malted spelt and barley grains. Presumably this was growing as an
arable weed rather than an unusual flavouring.
Best Wishes,
Wendy
