Leeks and salt, hard vegetables

  • We have long said: we brought to the leek (Allium porrum) an unfamiliar annoying worm, which by way of a letterhead pierced the middle worm's flesh and was wasted to eat; it was the worm of the sitsa Acrolepiopsis assectella.

This scourge has been replaced by another worm that I have replaced, since I have not seen any hint since it was explained. The new worm belongs to a fly, the gymnostoma Phytomyza. Adults and worms suck sweat. Gusano will then create pupa or chrysalis in the bottom of the leek, in the maturation metamorphosis. From top to bottom the leek leaves are cracked, which are also wasted.

Two worms are new to our landscape. They do not yet know the whole of the Basque Country, but gradually it goes through the valley, if it goes from fair to fair. Because they don't have enemies, you can quickly get into eating a bird or some other insectivore.

They have no enemy or name in Basque. Newcomers, simple recognition gives us a lot of work. But we would have to give them the name as quickly as possible, as soon as we have the name of one or the other in Spanish… For me it would be good the "sitsa del puerro" and the "pork fly".

The name is a leek and many more vegetables. New vegetables are also included. The leek also looked like this. It was one of the first civilizations in the Sumerian, they knew the Leek, and the Romans brought it to Europe. It is the national symbol of Wales, remembering that in some wars in the seventh century the Welsh took the leek to separate from their rivals. Anglo-saxon made dental paste with semen. In the 10th century, the French abbot Odon Meung collected in his work Macer Floridus the numerous therapeutic uses of the leek, among them to cure venereal diseases.

We use it above all to eat. It is a very widespread vegetable in our culture, unlike in the south of our own. The stories that vegetables have been building in our history are not collected, and we do this work. We Basques have not reversed the history of food. Meanwhile, the expressions say: “Leeks and Salt, Hard Vegetables” and “Corn and Leek, Incandescent Vegetables”. In fact, vegetables. Food, food, vegetables, vegetables…
