Here in WV, ramp season will be coming up soon. I cannot stress how much I despise ramps. I was born and bred in the metro area of the I-64 corridor, so I don't much get into the hillybilly aspect of my state. Here at work, they will cook up a batch and the whole building stinks horribly from it. Not to mention the fact that anyone who eats them will excrete the scent from every pore on their body for a day.

I've never seen or heard of a ramp, so I found this:
--- Quote ---Ramps are an early spring wild onion/scallion/leek-like vegetable that grow between North Carolina, New England, and Minnesota, and are in season only from late March to early May.
--- End quote ---
They have whole festivals down there for these things? Ew.

The love for ramps here increases proportionally with geographical distance from the Interstate system. ;D You know, it's the same way with avg. # of teeth per adult. ;)

Boiled ramps are probably very easy to chew. And very easy to find growing around the outhouse. It makes sense.
Where I grew up they have strawberry and shark festivals. No one will ever say "damn you stink like strawberries". :)
