GARNISH -- WILD LEEKS (RAMPS), FIDDLEHEADS, WILD MORELS
As you taste for yourself, and you can soon, with spring advancing, keep in mind that our melange of ramps, fiddleheads, and morels is the wildest part of the meal. Yes, the veggies. They are not propagated by humans, are natives of their range, grow in unworked forests and wetlands, are not cultivated, are harvested by hand. Unhusbanded and enduring, they are far wilder than, say, farmed venison.
