RAMPS ARE WILD - MEMBER OF THE LEEK FAMILY - ONE OF FIRST GREENS AFTER THE SNOW LEAVES-HIGH IN VITAMIN C SO I'M TOLD! REFERRED TO AS "SPRING TONIC"! LEAVES (YOUNGER) CAN BE EATEN-EXCELLENT IN FRIED POTATOES 0R FRIED BY THEMSELVES!

LEEKS ARE CULTIVATED AND NEED DIRT HILLED UP AROUND THE STEMS TO "BLANCH" THEM AND MAKE MORE PALATABLE. HAVE FLAT FIBROUS LEAVES TOUGH - UNPALATABLE.

Wild leeks and ramps are the same thing.
Cultivated (grocery store) leeks are what he is refering to above.

1 tub whipped philly cream cheese
1 tsp red hot or tabasco
1/4 cup mayo or miracle whip
1 cup chopped leaks

Smash 1/2 of leeks in a mortar and pestal then stir in mayo,
Mix with other ingredients then serve on Melba toast.

Made this tonight but omitted mayo and added chopped garlic and mushrooms that I nuked for a minute.

Might be my best yet!

Not that I have been looking real hard, but still have not come across any. Is there any particular habitat they thrive in? I think I read they prefer well drained, loamy soil, is this true? I may just go to the store and buy some, these dips are making my mouth water.

Cultivated(store) leeks are almost totally different or at least a much milder version-kind of like all peppers are not the same.
They are often found on hillsides but can also grow on the flats.
Some hills are covered with them and the next hill is bare-might depend on when the sun hits.
I often see ferns around them.
I never saw any in the woods near East Bradford where I grew up but areas near Kinzua Dam are often covered with them along the ANF forest trails.
I was at a flea market near Morgantown WV and saw some for sale but they are called ramps down there.

The only leek or ramp festival left this year that I could find:

Boone County Ramp Festival

May, 24-25, 2008

Jim & Jennie'sMusic Barn and Campground

Crossnore, NC.
The annual Ramp Festival, a two-day event celebrating a wild leek found in the Appalachian Mountains, takes place on Saturday, May 24, from 12:30 to 11:00 p.m. and Sunday, May 25, from 12:00 to 4:00 p.m. at Jim & Jennie’s Music Barn and Campground in Crossnore.

The ramp is a wild onion native to the Appalachian Mountains that grows from South Carolina to Canada and is harvested in spring. The bulb is similar to that of a scallion, but the plant’s flat, broad leaves distinguish it. Ramps have a strong odor and garlic flavor.

The event features live music, dancing and plenty of raw and fried ramps with potatoes and all the trimmings. Serving time is 12:30 to 11:00 p.m. on Saturday and 12:00 to 4:00 p.m. on Sunday.

For ramp recipes, click to www.wild-leeks.com.

Additional information about the festival could not be obtained as of press time. Jim & Jennie’s Music Barn is located at 677 Hawshaw Fire Tower Road in Crossnore. For more info, call 828-733-0682.
