If you were enterprising the two of you would forage in the mountains for ramps right now and then sell them in a downtown ATL farmers' market and make a lot of money. Same with the mushrooms, though I prefer hen of the woods.

I found a two morel mushrooms growing in our vegetable garden last year. Weird. Unfortunately they were past their prime so I left them in hopes of spores producing more. 

One of our neighbors came to ask me if she could pick some mushrooms that she spotted in our yard a few years ago. I told her go ahead as I am too timid to trust myself in knowing what is what. Her husband is a "witch doctor" and has travelled a lot in South America somewhere with tribal folks. Guess they know there shrooms.

Ramps, never tried them but I understand they have a flavor akin to something between an onion and garlic.

yall yuppies pay good money for hen of the woods huh? i've found growths that are big enough to wrap both arms around... was always taught they are best when a little less than watermelon sized though.

i know one of the northern universities about ten years ago spread truffle spores down the appalachians, and they really took hold here in the lower southern hills. hawgs and dawgs can find em, some people make money collecting them. i had sliced black truffle on pork (spelled french like) chops one time, they told me after that was about $50 bucks worth of mushroom, blew my mind. it is good stuff, i can see why richies like it so much, the exclusivity of it.

and i have thought about mushroom farming. took a few extension classes at UGA back when i was a proud member of the FFA (wearing dickies overalls of course)

tim, some call them wild leeks too

really as far as the name differences of ramps, i think its mostly generational and geographical what they call it and minor variations in taste ramps/leeks/spring onion some tastes more onion some more garlic

my granny used to make a poke salad, mostly poke greens, with ramps, a couple sliced sugar beets from the garden, chicory/endive, goat cheese, hardboiled egg, whatever mushrooms she found. she had this bag she carried, always came back with plenty of stuff, the salad would always be a little different depending on what she found. she'd throw berries in there black and blue. goat cheese. cucumbers soaked in vinigar. she liked adding purple radish CEO in for color. and chicken scraps. and real buttermilk dressing. its was great to eat lunch on a hot summer day

My granny used to make us poke salad with egg . She never called it going to the grocery store when she went once a month, she called it going for staples and she didn't buy her staples, she said she traded with this or that merchant although she used money like everyone else .

She would take one of her 8 kids or grand kids for the 45 mile one way trip to do her trading and come back with a truck load of things like big bags of flour, cornmeal and coffee and tea . The rest of what they ate was from the garden and put up stuff for the winter . If my brother and I were there we would never ask to go with her because it was a treat for whoever got to go trading with her because they got to stop at Dairy Queen for ice cream . My brother and I got things all the time that they never got to enjoy and were pretty amused at how excited my Aunts were to be able to " go to town " . They lived about 70 miles from us but it felt like a different world there when we visited .

I was very close to her and when I moved to Chicago I made a point of coming back to Alabama at least once a year just sit on the porch with her and shell some peas, it kept me grounded in ways that's hard to describe . I met a guy in Chicago with family in the same area and we dated for many years . It was an added bonus to be with a guy I could take there with me to sit on that porch a few days and shell peas and visit with granny and not be bored. One year I was broke and out of work and David knew it was that time of year for my visit so he took it upon his self to get us there and seemed to be just as happy to go as I did .

My granny used to fry a pound of bacon every day.  She slurped up most of the grease with bread and ate that for breakfast.  She'd leave enough lard to do the rest of the day's cooking.  Always grossed me out to watch her gulp up all that bacon.

Hell, she might have lived to be 100 instead of dying at 94 had she eaten better.

My grandmother was a great country women running an acre =chickens=pig. She taught my Mother all her skills.

Lard bowl was a feature off my boyhood larder , when ever lard was used it was strained through a piece off muslin into the yard bowl. Waste not want not .

Are you folks discussing real lard, or Crisco -- or do you mean just any shortening? My grandmother, mother and yes -- even Miss P. -- maintained(s) used bacon grease in a proper grease container. You know, with the fit strainer thingie at the top.

I don't fry anything -- ANYTHING -- in my apartment so I do not have Crisco and would only use real lard for baking, but living alone I don't bake I go to bakeries. I only remember my mother and grandmother using Crisco as shortening. Though I'm sure my grandmother may have used rendered pig fat aka lard back when my grandfather was alive and smoked his own pigs. There was also a "slop bucket" on the rear enclosed porch next to the kitchen.

Oh, and I even shelled beans on a front porch annually... country boy that I am.

Speaking of tripe and lard -- you just have to know how to go about it correctly.

I'm sure I can score lard easily at the numerous butcher shops at the Italian market. Tripe too.

I'm not sure of the difference between lard and bacon grease.  I thought they were the same.  Granny had a metal container that had LARD written on it.  It had a strainer of sorts that fit under the lid and strain out part of the pig.

It was properly displayed on the stove top.  Always makes you wonder since you obviously use the lard from the top, what about the bottom portion?  Granny's lard in the bottom was probably there since they built the new house in 1955.  YUCK

And we always called green beans snap beans.  I would go to granny's every summer as soon as school let out.  I loved being down there and hated leaving.  I was actually kinda happy when our house burnt to the ground and I got to spend a year living with her. 

That's probably also when I learned to not really enjoy eating meat.  I never knew what was actually cooking and seeing my uncle bring her some freshly shot rabbits or squirrels bothered me beyond belief.  And then to suddenly see some of my favorite farms animals gone was crushing.  Playing with them one day and supposed to eat them the next????  I think not.

I do not understand the love off Tripe , My Mothers brothers and sisters loved tripe cooked in milk and onions , shudder , same reaction in posh rest, in Normandy shudder and gag . When my in-laws served me grits we narrowly avoided an international incident .

I was taking about  PIG lard in the UK it is sold in 8 oz and 1lb blocks covered in grease proof paper which was also saved to grease pans . Crisco is unknown in UK , unless someone has a Tee SHirt with it on.

Lard is pork fat.

Crisco has always been vegetable fat. Its so mixed and whipped and hydrogenated it contains "fat" substances unknown in nature.

Lard aka Saindoux is found so easily here. Not so in the USA?

Can you actually buy lard?  Not sure I've even seen it in a store.  That, and I don't use it.

Yes, I know I've seen it around both upscale places like DiBruno's and at butcher shops. I don't think I've seen it in common supermarkets yet.

Oh, and little Mexican grocery shops carry it.

OK folks, the verdict is in and i must now attempt this:

http://www.nytimes.com/2006/11/15/dining/15crus.html?_r=0

The author suggests a combination of 70% butter and 30% leaf lard ("high-end" lard from around a pig's kidneys). She says that leaf lard is available at Flying Pigs Farm stand at the Union Square and Grand Army Plaza Greenmarkets on Saturday and by mail order. 

I'm betting that I can locate a source here, probably at Reading Terminal Market from one of the Amish stands.

edit: evidently "leaf lard" can be obtained at A. Esposito's butcher mere blocks away at the Italian Market

http://www.espositosmeats.com

It's at the other end of the block from Cappuccios Meats where I buy dry aged steaks when I'm feeling flush with money, plus they have the best fresh italian sausages in the city. Esposito is known more for pork -- they'll slow roast an entire suckling pig for you with advanced order.
