HoBow:
I've lived in 3 different parts of the country and never heard of them. Grunt- is it just the green part around the dandelion? Does it taste like collards?
jamie:
Ramps are wild leeks. Has the taste of onion and garlic.
Grunt:

You got to get the whole plant BEFORE the flowers open. Reach down under and cut the tap root. Clean them good and cut the root off. I chop them a bit and then dump them in a hot cast iron skillet that has chopped and already browned bacon pieces. Splash a little wine vinegar on them and salt and chow down on a wilted salad. The unopened buds are kind of like capers. Good spring tonic
mullet:
I live farther South than they do and we don't have Ramps or Dandelions. We do have onions, collards, mustard and turnip greens, though. ;D
cowboy:
This would be a good time for a picture. I know what dandelions are but am a little gray on the ramps...
