I'll be darned. I wonder how you would tell them apart. I just thought they were interchangeable.

Right, though once again scallions aren't the same thing, they're similar
but a related strain to the standard green onions we generally think of,
much like how onions and shallots are two different things closely related
to each other.

Green onions are also called scallions.
I get chives in a little bottle like a spice.

Chives are similar to green onions, and some people (including a local
restaurant) sometimes call chopped green onion tops chives, but it's a
different plant. Chives have a more delicate flavor and are a lot smaller
than your typical green onion.
Not sure why they'd substitute parsley for chives, though.

Hi everyone,

A recipe for chive biscuits called for parsley. That surprised me. I
always
thought chives were green onions.

Have I been wrong all this time?

Thanks,

Nancy Martin
