I saw a demo by the chefs at Jamie Oliver's restaurant in Cornwall where they were making pesto with wild garlic. Very cool, and there's plenty round here!
Your species is probably different to ours which is Allium triquetrum. I imagine you have Allium ursinum, also known as Ramsons.

Try a leaf in a ham sandwich instead of lettuce - gorgeous. Or shred it a bit and add to a pan of fried mushrooms at the end of cooking, leave just long enough to wilt the leaves.

Go for it!
All the above comments fit the bill.
