Ramps

Ramps are up. Foragers are scurrying up and down hidden back country forested hills with large plastic bags. Troves of these wild leeks are close kept secrets.

Last night I ate my first ramps of the season. We will eat them again for lunch. Tender, sweet, and delicate, they are like no other green I have tasted. Soon they will be gone. Season over. I do not know of anyone cultivating ramps. I hope not, as it is one of the few foods remaining that have a season. That makes them taste even better.
