It's ramp season

[GoneOffShore]

But I'm not inclined to eat them.

1. Why ever not? They are amazing!

I’ve had them twice so far, but now they’re buried under the snow again.

I know it's a slippery slope.

3. I never ate them

when I was growing up in WV--there was a newspaper back then ( The West Virginia Hillbilly--Jim Comstock wrote it)--well, it was really more like a magazine in newspaper format--that sent out an issue with ramp juice in the ink. Lots of complaints about the smell, for which ramps are notorious. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Comstock

Then as an adult I have eaten them in NJ, and they are quite nice, kind of mild scallion or even leek flavor, and no offensive odor that I could detect.

5. Sometimes you just have to take a leek.

6. What's the Welshman doing under the bed?

Having a leek.

I thought I was the only one who knew that joke. Or at least the only one who "got" it.

9. My uncle was from WV

He told me he and his friends would eat a bunch of ramps, just to get expelled from school.

The less odorous ones just had to sit the hall..
