Thank you for the detailed explanation, with pictures. I feel like if I knew what a scape was I would be able to follow these instructions and end up with a tasty meal.
I have never heard of scapes before though. Are they called something else as well or, maybe related to something I would have heard of?
Garlic Scapes are basically the flower stalk on a garlic bulb. When growing garlic you cut the flower stalk off so the plant doesn't use the energy to make seeds and you end up with a bigger bulb. You could throw the flower stalk away, or you can use it to cook. I can't say I've ever seen them in the store, but I have seen them in farmers markets and CSAs. They're usually 12-18" and twisted in shape.
Thanks for the clarification and thank you again for a detailed and informative post!
Good reply! Thanks!
