Cheremsha

[John Langran]

Cheremsha is in Yevtushenko's "Stantsiya Zima"
И торговали бабы на базаре
коровами, брусникой, черемшой.

I translated this in Ruslan 3 as "pickled garlic stalks" and was going to
change this translation to "wild garlic" in the next edition, but if it is 
in fact
sold in pickled form in Siberian markets perhaps I should leave my 
translation as it is,
or change it to "pickled wild garlic".
