tops of spring onions = chives!???
How do people come to these ridiculous conclusions?
They look a bit similar sure, but so does grass.
I had an argument with someone once about this and they were insistant that it was obviously true - then her boyfriend agreed and said he's always thought the same.
I even, the next day, took in a packet of chive seeds to show them and they still wouldn't have it.
the tops of spring onions are...spring onions!
Is this just an assumption, that get passed on to kids over the years or do you think someone was pulling their leg?
thx

Of course the tastes and looks are similar, so mixed up in a dish you could be confused - but not with the raw veg! I expect it was an auntie or parent or something that just told them that because they didn't know themselves
