So really, it isn't that odd that we have this tradition. People are, according to Newsweek, paying around $10 a pound for the lil' stinkers.
Sheffield notes: "Be warned: ramps have a pungent aroma, so it's best to avoid them on a first date."
Double on that. :-D
I just saw some Ramps at the local supermarket. Thanks to you, Amanda, I know what they are! (I didn't try them, however, nor do I plan on having them on a first date!)
