Pignut is Conopodium majus. I am pretty certain that some of those pictures aren't pignut.

It's not pure foraging only, but I like to celebrate spring with morels, asparagus and eggs

all of those can be/have been foraged so it counts as within spec.

It's got to be st George's mushroom, three cornered leek and scrambled eggs with crow garlic for the taste of spring

Now if I could find some St. George's mushroom, I would substitute wild garlic as we don't have 3 cornered leek, but plenty of wild garlic.

I might try one of those as I have the ingredients. Wild raspberries a bit later in the year, but the garlic usually dies down by then. I don't think I have ever even seen a blaeberry as I don't know any moors,
