Ramps



Wild leeks, or a cross between a green onion and garlic. Pungent aroma. They appear once a year here. They are cooked with many things, but are used as a tonic, as they have the ability to clean out your colon.

I had a nice meal last week of venison steak cooked with mushrooms, onions and ramps; along with some potatoes and a salad. Hillbilly fare.
