Ramping Up

Bunch of Ramps   (Public Domain)
We’re well into Spring, or what some might call “ramp season.”

Are we talking graded entrances and exits, or something more intriguing?  If you’re into stalking wild members of the onion family, then we’re talking way more intrigue.

These palate ticklers can wake up many a taste bud.  They make a snappy addition to salads, omelets, and just about any dish that could use a bit more pizazz.

Whereas ramps have been freely available in rural areas for centuries, they are now being coveted by city dwellers willing to pay the big bucks.  Responsible foraging can therefore go a long way to ensure the long-term survival of this rustic staple.
