Ramp Festival
Throughout Appalachia. Ramps are wild leeks with a garlic-onion flavor so intense that eating them makes your sweat smell for two days. Entire communities hold festivals where they fry ramps with eggs, potatoes, and bacon. The AHA! moment: in ramp country, you know it is ramp season because every church potluck and every school hallway smells like a forest floor that fought back.
