Talking of onions too panama. I found some wild ones growing in 'the field' down in Portugal. I cleaned the dirt off one of the bulbs, peeled off the outer layer and chomped down the rest raw with a smug look on my face, content in the knowledge that I had shown my fellow inmates how I, at least, would know how to survive under any extreme conditions. Why, Ray Mears himself would be coming to me for advice!
A week later the proprietor told a local farmer about my discovery and he laughed and said they were poisonous. EVERYONE knew that locally.
Which just goes to show that you can peel an outer layer off an onion but you must be careful not to cry afterwards. (Wow..that's deep!)
