I own a farm in Braxton county WV, and went to college at WVU. The first time I had ramps was at the Ramp Festival in Webster Springs. This was in the late 80's. I ate a bunch...and thought they were great. Strong but great.

For the next 3+ days I stunk like onions. I don't mean mildly...I mean I outwardly stunk.

Only good thing was that the guys I lived with ate them too, so we all stunk!

I've had them several times since...I just make sure to eat them with the same folks I'll be spending the next few days with.
