RAMPS!
Eric Krewson:
I was wandering around the land I hunt in south central Tn this spring turkey hunting and noticed all these green tops that looked like an emerging daffodil plant, I pulled one up to check it out. Immediately I realized it was a ramp, I had never seen one before that I know of. I gave it the taste test, pretty good, like a cross between and onion and garlic with a more complex taste, pretty strong. The onion breath effect lasted for a long time.
As I walked off the ridge into the valley I noticed the hillsides were solid with these plants.
I was on the same hillside a few days ago and there wasn't a sign of them so they must be a springtime only plant.

mix them with some bell peppers, and some mushrooms, hit them with a hot pan until wilted and the peppers are soft with a bit of charred color, then add some fresh tomatoes and get them soft. Boil some new potatoes in another pot until soft. Mix all that together for a wonderful hearty side dish, served with some pork chops (or better, bone in grilled pork shoulder steak)
Your welcome ;)

Any one got a picture Of ramps " on the hoof"? I had not heard of them until this thread! Garlic, I got! Chives, I got! Ramps sound like a 20-30 inch rain plant!
