Ramps

[nasilemak]

Could anyone tell me if ramps are already available in the markets and whether you have seen them in the greater boston area menus. Any details are appreciated! Thanks!

Just saw them at whole foods symphony for about 12 bucks a pound...and they didn't look too good.

I'm not sure what markets have them or where they're coming from, but I will say that local ramps are definitely ready to dig! I scrounged up a few pounds this past weekend...

Yep. Just saw a big basket of them in the covered porchlike area before you enter the main store At Verrill's. Nice looking fiddleheads too.

I had some at Small Plates in Harvard Sq. last week. The Butcher Shop, rumor has it, also has them on the menu.

I'll see what I can find for growing them in upstate Pa. Will post results.Should be easy to grow.

I saw them at Savenor's Monday... the Cambridge store.

Russo's brings in a lot of Ramps, I think mostly from the South and they do have some now. In the past I have foraged them in Vermont, a bit later in the season... and I think some of those show up at farmer's markets at the beginning of the season.

I saw Ramps at Russos this past weekend. They were in the Chinese produce area right next to the snap peas and snow peas for some reason.

When they have fiddleheads they usually put them in that spot near the snow peas & such as well. When the ramps aren't there, they're sometimes in that little back room with the *other* Asian produce, back near the discounted produce racks (across from broccoli, etc.)

The fiddleheads and ramps were across from the leeks and greens at Russo's last week, where the Chinese long beans usually live.

I've seen them on the menu at Highland Kitchen. Last year, I saw some for sale at Formaggio Kitchen.

HK had a spec'l on the board of pork belly w/roasted ramps & asparagus last week.
