Post by: firedup on March 19, 2012, 08:03:32 PM
Had a first batch with some deep fried turkey fingers.  Hope to eat a bunch more in the next couple weeks.  Thankfully, my wife likes them too.  ;D

I love fresh caught trout with a ramp and a little butter inside wrapped in foil and cooked on an open fire. That and a big skillet of fried potatoes and ramps. Yum

Glad to see there are few educated taste buds on the board.  :D  Growing up the traditional early spring ramp dinner always fixed by my great grand mom and grand mom was stewed ramps, a few fresh ramps on the side, fried tators, a big chunk of salt cured ham, brown beans and cornbread. The old folks always washed it all down with buttermilk. I never could get the knack for liking buttermilk..   :-\ After the comments....got me to thinking about a little fishing and mollie moochin' adventure.
