ramp (or leek) sandwiches
Ramps are wild onions that grow only in the mountains in North Carolina, (maybe in other parts but I only know of N.C.) They only stay around for 1 month it is according how cold it gets in the mountains. They usually stay grown for the month of April. They are usually ready to be picked Easter Weekend and last for about 2-4 weeks. It cost 20 dollars for a permit to pick ramps.

How To Make ramp (or leek) sandwiches
-
1On a grill in an large iron skillet pour the shortening in the skillet and let melt, put at least 2 packs of bacon in skillet, (bacon will make on grease for ramps) keep eye on bacon making sure it does not over cook, add the rest of the bacon and keep stirring.

2When bacon is completely done, put ramps in bacon grease and start stirring, you will be able to tell the ramps are done when the ramps start shriving up. when the ramps are done, get a medal strainer and pour the ramps and grease in it.
