Eating galls... For science - November 2023

Gall 1: Rhopalomyia santolinae on Santolina rosmarinifolia
Date: November 11
Taste: Resembling parsley (Petroselinum spp.), maybe. Fresh, humid, and leafy.
Texture: Fibrous, soft, maybe as much as the leaves.
Smell: None noticed.

Unremarkable galls:
Iteomyia major on Salix ?cinerea
Barely any taste, only mildly leafy. The galls are much more woody than I expected, they are as hard to bite into as peanuts.
