Abstract:
The people of Western North Carolina look forward to spring for a number of reasons, one of which is a culturally unique food that tastes and smells like no other--ramps. A member of the wild leek family, ramps fulfill an important cultural and economic space in Western North Carolina. Locklear considers the role by investigating customs surrounding ramps that include uses, festivals, stories, cycles, and restrictions.
