I'm a little behind... the first bunch of ramps actually appeared in the market about 2 weeks ago. So eager was I to taste Spring, I chomped into one, raw and unwashed. How to explain the flavor of earth and garlic and green!
Lunch that day was a slice of bread with Pennsylvania cheddar and a sprinkling of ramp, diced from stem to leaf tip. The first crunchy green I've had on a sandwich since last Fall. Yes, we've really been sticking with eating seasonally -- lettuce disappeared from our sandwiches when lettuce disappeared from the garden (sometime toward the end of 2009.)
And now, it's officially Spring, 2010. Let the crunching begin.
