Smothered Creole Leeks - Ramps 

(the grocery store variety is not quite so offensive to those that don't 
care to partake as the wild ones) - look for the wild ones in late spring. 

Cut off the green tops and feed to the compost pile. 

Cut the bottoms in 1/2 inch slices, season with creole seasoning 
or lacking that, salt pepper & a little worchestershire with just 
enough water to cover. 

Cover and simmer until tender and all the water's absorbed. 

Mash with 1/2 stick of butter. 
Remove from fire, add two eggs, 1/4 cup cream & mix well - serve hot.
