Can someone tell me what's better than ramps?

One of my very favorite things is when ramps come, in the spring. I like to grill them with a little olive oil, salt and pepper. Or saute in a cast iron pan and serve with eggs in the morning.
Tonight, some quick pork chops. Love the small for this sort of stuff - quick to come up to temp, and easy to control the temps.
Two chops with Dizzy Pig IPA, two with Paul Prudhomme's blackening seasoning. That blackening seasoning is great stuff - nice flavor, but mild enough for the fam.
Ramps on while the thicker chops finish. Hmmm, gasket looks a bit off in the back.

Never had one, but hear they're delish!
Vivian Howard, a local chef to NC including these on one of her episodes and I wanted them badly then. She made a ramp and potato dish that looked awesome.------------------------------

So, did you hit the festivals in TN, NC last weekend? Drove by several to/from BB.

@tarheelmatt grab some if you can find them. They've got a really great mild onion/garlic flavor. Really easy to use.
@theyolksonyou I wish! I've heard of some of those festivals and I think I'd love it. Some people say Chicago is named after the Native American word for ramps- but I don't know of a ramp festival here.
Looks like you guys had a great time at the BB!Chicago, IL - Large and Small BGE - Weber Gasser and Kettle -
Looks great, @blind99 what did you think of the IPA seasoning?

Wild morels, ramps, brook trout - you fellers are making me green with envy that have all these tasty foods available. Great looking plate.
Of course - we do have cheap brisket in Texas...Coleman, Texas
Large BGE & Mini Max for the wok. A few old camp Dutch ovens and a wood fired oven. LSG 24” cabinet offset smoker. There are a few paella pans and a Patagonia cross in the barn. A curing chamber for bacterial transformation of meats...

No ramps out here. But we have wild fiddlehead ferns, wild mushrooms and wild asparagus. Fresh picked wild berries. Nature's bounty.

@piratebill TBH the rub is really mild - I don't taste the hops. Maybe I should try it on vegetables. Have you had it?
@bgebrent thanks brother! work's been crazy - i was going to throw it all on the gasser but decided I need some egg therapy
@sciaggie we are lucky! fresh berries from michigan in the summer are great. but you guys keep the best briskets to yourselves
@spaightlabs that all sounds delicious! pretty sure if I picked a wild mushroom it would be poison Chicago, IL - Large and Small BGE - Weber Gasser and Kettle -

Can you buy Ramps commercially or do you have to rummage thru the woods for them. BTW my fav grilled veggie is asparagus=======================================

I saw a huge patch of them when I was golfing yesterday (tells you where my ball was...). I wouldn't pick them though. Pretty good chance they had been peed on more than once already this year.Mt Elgin Ontario - just a Large.

I'd be surprised if you said you ate that? I thought pretty much everyone gives those guys a pass.lkapigian said:I caught this yesterday , not a Ramp -

@thetrim I buy them. If you forage them it's important not to take out too many or they can't regrow. I think it's one of those weird plants that is really hard or impossible to grow or plant yourself. Can't beat nature!thetrim said:Can you buy Ramps commercially or do you have to rummage thru the woods for them.
