Why they called me that I do not know

Due to a shopping mishap yesterday, this house contains a lot of (what I believe to be) oriental garlic. It tastes a lot like wild garlic. Beyond the sorts of things mentioned in Wikipedia's usage notes, does anyone have any particularly good recommendations for uses thereof?

No municipal composting scheme to which you could contribute waste? Only if you wanted to, of course.

Sadly, no. Ealing's green box scheme is only open to those who live in houses or blocks of fewer-than-twelve flats. Even if you ring up and ask to be allowed to have a green box, they say no (I've tried).

No explanation for the 12-flat limit is given. My deduction is that the green box scheme goes along with the white bag recycling scheme, and these things are sorted directly into the recycling lorry on the road. Having to sort the recycling for a large block would mean the lorry would be stationary for too long, and block the road. Our recycling goes into different bin bags, which are slung straight into the lorry and (presumably) sorted elsewhere.

This is only a guess though, maybe they just dislike people who live in large blocks of flats!

How frustrating! Discriminatory too.
