Ramps!!-- Spring has sprung

Rodney Myrvaagnes said:

A ramp hunter brought in a few to the Greenmarket
yesterday. My wife got two of them and we each ate one as
we walked around the market (outdoors). Yumm. There should
be lots in a week or so.

I will make a trip in for them next Saturday if I can, or
try to hit the place on Wednesday. .We treated ourselves to
ramps last year at the market and were delighted.

I do not blame Rapunzel's mom one bit. Dee-lish!

Dear Boron, I have no clue what ramps are! I read they
"hunt" for them and extrapolated they are eaten raw, but I
am just too curious! please inform me. We don't have them in

Ramps are an early spring wild leek, Allium tricoccum, that
is cousin to wild onions, chives, garlic, and the rest of
the Alliums. They are native to the east and you will not
find them in that lush and beautiful place you live...you
have to let us have something!

The are said to likely be similar to the "rampion" that
Rapunzel's mother craved so during pregnancy, rather than
what is now known as rampion, or campanula rapunculus..all a
bit of folklore, of course.

There is a lot more to read, if you wish.
