Slovenian spring national sport

We are becoming Slovenians! The first days of the real spring we went to pick up Regrat (dandelion / одуванчик) and čemaž (wild garlic / черемша). In Ukraine we have a lot of dandelions as well but I guess nobody eats them, so I was quite surprised to know that dandelions are almost national food in Slovenia. Another thing is čemaž, which reminds the taste of garlic and you can cook it in many different ways.

It was nice to pick up all these grass but after a couple of hours of washing those small leaves I understood why we don’t eat it in Ukraine. :)
