“Wild leek”, yes, or “wild garlic”, although ramps are of the onion family. They do have a garlic-onion taste.
Here in Tennessee, we have 2 or 3 (or more) towns that have an annual Ramp Festival.
Take my word on this one.
If you’re from Florida or probably anywhere similar, don’t eat anything you find growing wild unless you’re 100% sure what it is. It will make you sick at the very least or it will outright kill you.
Wildcrafted foods have real risks. Between the toxic issues of Scotts yard and town sprayings, the dog shit parasites folks get to enjoy with their “Free Food” and just plain bad judgement even with “Trained folks” there’s a REASON Homeless and true refugees look so bad.
And that’s before SHTF and foolish folks are without flush toilets, so like Superstorm Sandy they are shitting everywhere. Go GET Some Wild Foods with a side order of E-coli from idiots.
I ONLY harvest from MY Property, most of the wild crafted foods I PLANTED in tractor tires. At least wash and COOK all that wild chow, please.
Calories IN vs Calories gained. An afternoon collecting wildcrafted foods is a few hundred calories gained vs how many calories OUT? A Great Weight Loss program BEFORE you’re getting Diarrhea from toxins and E-coli.
Plant Potatoes folks. If you can grow sweet potatoes, you can eat the sweet potatoes leaves as cooked greens (NOT regular Potatoes leaves, TOXIC, OK?).
Are we preppers or Refugees folks?
Great post, Michael.
Purslane nearly over took my vegetable garden last year. No idea what it was or where it came from till a few months later. Could have had some great salads.
Purslane is an abortifacient.
Contraindicated only if in-gravid and large amount intake
are ramps also known as leeks?
