*THUD*

Gorgeous! I have a leg o'lamb in the fridge, but I tell ya, it won't look anything like your work of art!

Cute take on "wham, bam..."

I've never heard of ramps, till I came here. I'll bet I've seen it in the store though. I don't care for fiddleheads, don't see the excitement/attraction. But then my grandpa loved to take us hunting for "puff-balls" too and bring them home and fry them up. Didn't care much for those either.

"Archie" LOVE it Sooz!

Have to ask - did you actually carve the lamb bone in a pattern? Looks beautiful and delicious - not always the same thing.

As far as foraged food - I'm not familiar with ramps. In Maine fiddleheads are a big deal. I think that it's partly flavor, partly sentimental, partly economic and also an indication of spring after a long winter.

If I remember correctly doucanoe has ramps growing all over her property. Maybe you could get her to send you some to plant.

Thank you everyone.

Ramps, (wild leeks) are being made upscale in many restaurants. In NYC, they are not cheap, $14.00 a lb.

agmss15, leg of lamb looks odd without the bone, yet the bone I had looked odd the way it was. So I deicide to give it a different look by carving it. It only took less than a minute to do.

Teresa, ramps would probably grow well in my very shady garden. May be I will give it a try.

Ramps and Fiddlehead Ferns
Probably grew wild where I grew up.
But I didn't know about them,
Nor would I ever have thought to eat them
If I had known!

But I did know about Puff Balls. and loved them! !
How I wish they grew here!
I seriously doubt that any one around here
Would have even the remotest idea
Of what to do with any of the above
If they could be found!

As always, thanks for sharing, Dcarch.
It all looks delicious!
