What does /ck/ think of ramps? Its spring time in Appalachia. I put them in everything from potatoes, eggs, to burgers.

They're fantastic but you're going to get shitposted with "flyover" for mentioning Appalachia (the best part of the US).

I guess ramps are the trendy thing this year? My city does a restaurant week in spring and fall, and probably 30% of the dishes on menus had fucking ramps in them.

Holy fucking christ on a cracker, so this is where the term 'Mountain Dew Mouth' came from. You're not fooling anyone pal, the opioids got your people locked down hard. You folk might as well be natives.

I will say this however: those you not addled by drugs are good, hard working, God-fearing people.

My mother often makes a bitchin pesto for pasta, from ramps, olive oil, grated Parmesan cheese and roasted pine nuts. It uses a shitload of ramps and will keep for many months so you can still enjoy them when the season is long over.
