I intentionally plant lillies so I am familiar with the bulbs and how they
could be mistaken for onions.  They don't smell anything like the onions,
though.

That is the one I was thinking of.

We have two different plants that are called chickory here... one is the
leafy variety that looks like a salad fixing and apparently can be used as
one, while the other is the "blue daisy" variety with stick-like stems and
a tubor that can apparently be used.  IIRC, the early settlers used the
latter to make some kind of coffee or tea from.
