Ramps are not spring onions or wild perennial onions. I have plenty of those, also, and I don't talk pretty to them while trying to get them out of my flower beds! This is a P.S. rather than a reply!

Shucky darn! Thought I'd had 'em ever which way one could fix 'em! We had ramps and 'taters three nights ago. The Texans loved 'em; Steve wouldn't touch 'em. I do double bag them when I freeze them just to make sure the odor doesn't "escape" into the freezer. I have four ramp beds now. YEA!!!! We used to have ramp festivals way back in the woods. One that we liked was on Devil's Courthouse Creek Road up near the Blue Ridge Parkway. A bunch of friends and neighbors just got together, pitched a tent, and dug and cooked ramps for at least 3 or 4 days. Another way I like them is to fry out some good bacon, take it out of the pan, put freshly washed and cut up ramps in the drippings to tender them, then pour in a jar of tomatoes and let simmer for about five minutes. Meanwhile, you have a Dutch Oven of rice cooking on the campfire. Serve the ramps over the rice with a hunk of corn pone and it's some mighty fine eating. Okay Dub, so you now know all about ramps. A couple of months ago when it was still rather chilly up here I had a good bait of creasies. Does that book say anything about our famous creasy greens? How 'bout poke sallet?
