They can also be referred to as green onions.

Indeed we do.

Lovely mixed in with mashed potatoes + loads of butter = that's called 'champ' by the way.

Top man Greg for pointing out the crucial simmering bit!

Got to be one of the simplest recipes ever! I was raised on the stuff.

(Funny enough I was born in Lurgan )

Spring onions in England
Scallions in Ireland and USA
Syboes in Scotland (pronounced "sybees")

Scallions in Jamaica too. Although if I buy scallions from a Caribbean grocer they do taste different somehow.

I was only about 5 mins away in Merrion Drive. Had an uncle in Magheralin who grew tatties and even had a goat at one point - scary thing it was too!
Took me until this year to try growing anything.

Syboes is what my GF's mum calls them - never seen it written down though - I would never have reaslised it was the same word!
