RAMPS!
Buckskinner:
Swung by my secret ramp spot this morning which coincidentally is on public hunting grounds that is heavily hunted for turkey, but everyone walks right by the ramps... There are literally thousands of ramps in this area, by far the best spot that I know of. Looking forward to smoked venison shoulder with sauteed leaks and potato ramps soup tonight!
JW_Halverson:
Dang!!! That's awesome!
That little seafood market had ramps and fiddlehead ferns again this spring. Get this...$30/lb! Again, I only wish I had them growing them here!
Buckskinner:
Wow, that's crazy! I'm glad nobody has figured out my spot, it's literally 50 feet from a well-traveled county road. I literally hide behind trees when cars go by... I was going to transplant some from there to our property as there is some similar habitat but it's too late in the season. They are a treat but no way I'd pay anywhere near that for them.

I was always told that if you ate ramps you could not go to school cause they would make you go home. The smell will leak out of your pores and smell like garlic for weeks. The stories abound in WV but I was on a turkey hunt and another hunter invited me to eat scrambled eggs with bacon bits,potatoes and ramps. It was delicious but that was the only time I ever ate them.

Sounds good. Been awhile since I took mucheffort with morning eggs but I used to like scrambling eggs in butter with bacon, vidalia onion, garlic salt and shredded sharp cheddar.
Never seen Ramps locally, but I'll look around for them.
PS
Since garlic is a well known anti-parasitic food, most dewormers for dogs are simply garlic capsules, I wonder if Ramps have the same qualities?
WhistlingBadger:
No ramps around here. I've heard that they make a person rather, um, fragrant. We do have wild onions that are delicious. We also have death camas which grows in the same habitats. Never eat a wild onion that doesn't smell like onions!
