Which raises another point that many miss. Bambi has been adopted as a
girl's name. But, if you remember the story - that cute little fawn is

Garlic scapes are the green shoots that grow from the garlic bulb, and t
hey have a mild garlic flavor and a crisp texture. Subbig them for chives
would depend on the flavor profie you're going for.
