This is a plant of northern regions of Europe, quite rare here except for the most extreme points of the island. Its a member of the carrot family and is said to be quite edible and platable..
Only...its not, its supposed to taste like parsley or celery only...it doesn't, its rank, one of the worst tasting plants I've ever eaten, even worse than scurvy grass. Now it might be better cooked but I wasn't going to try it after the offensiveness of the raw plant. However I'm glad we found it, as I say quite rare in Ireland but I'll not be adding it to my list of culinary foraged delights.
