Sounds like an onion of some sort. Got to be a fancy term like leeks, all look like onions to me. Never met an onion I didn't like so far.

well if the durned thing is an onion why don't they call it an onion? sheesh.

Oh BTW I agree. I have yet to meet an onion I didn't like. Particularly when grilled on a barbque pit. . . . .

hey gob

i couldn't even find it in the dictionary. and yes i can read.:rolleyes:

well iused part of his recipe and ended up with tater soup. yummmmy. have made any in quite awhile.

as an ex airforce guy, to me, a ramp is a place to park aircraft. :D

A ramp is shaped sorta like an onion, but it's maybe closer to garlic in flavor.
Grows in the Apalachain (sp?) highlands.
You ain't gonna find it down there in that flat a** sand country, GOB:D

It has the white onion type bulb on the bottom and two green leaves like a tulip. Its one of the first plants to come up through the leaves in the spring.

now durnit Jack ain't but half of east Texas flat a** sand country, the rest of it is iron ore clay hills. . . . :D

Come to think of it I do have a set of ramps I use when changin the oil in my truck.

AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I ramp is pretty much a wild onion that grow in the mountains here in the east. I'm from WV and we go trout fishing every year and we always dig alot of ramps while we are camping. They are great in Fried potatoes and can spice up just about anything.

GOB,
A ramp is perty good eatin...mighty good paired up with a "spring salad" as we call it. Some ramps, fiddlehead ferns, a few wild onions (too many of em will make ya mighty sick) some poke and even some young dandelion.
Grab some black beech & sassafrass roots fer tea and you got a meal fit fer a king. Either that or you can make a mean gallon of wine with it ;)

BTW fer Popplecop, ramp aint no fancy term fer nuthin...been called that pert near 400 years. We dont do nuthin fancy round these parts.

What are fiddlehead ferns?
