The Faroese native #Angelica archangelica (#hvonn) was gathered in the wild and cultivated in gardens. It was served as a dessert, with cream or thick sour milk.
Crops such as #potatoes, #turnips and other roots were only grown in the small patches of cultivated soil. Wild plants have therefore been of some importance for the #Faroese people.
The village of #Hvannasund took its name from the plant - it's "the sound of angelicas".
