    Yeah, I like tomatoes also but it changes the soup a bit. Makes it "dirty".

    Leeks - one thing that's going on in Potter County here is leeks, wild. In late summer they have leek fests. Leek sausage, leek and ham dinners, leek soups. Wild leeks, they grow out in the swampy areas of the forest. Easy to get to and there's tons of them.

    Not like the leeks you get at the grocery store either, they're just big green onions. These ones are small, curled at the ends and very, VERY potent. Like a cross between straight garlic and onion.

    I don't go out for them, that's too much work. I hit the fire halls and lodges after leek and ham dinner nights and take all the leftovers. I haven't done that in a year or two but the last time I did I wound up with an entire cooler full of leeks. My hands stunk for a week after cleaning them.

    My wife was pretty sick of the "hey, smell my finger" routine.

    Interesting. I've only had the store bought guys. Yeah, they are kind of like scallions or green onions. Whatever you want to call them. I love that entire family actually. I eat a lot of garlic, onions and scallions but leeks I only use for soups and stews. Not really sure what else to do with them. Any ideas? Keep in mind that I hate sausage.

    Man - leek sausage? The local grocery store makes leek sausage in the fall. I think I missed this years crop though but it's out of this world. Stinks to high heavan and it stays with you for a week or so if you know what I mean. My wife isn't crazy about strong foods but she really likes leek sausage.

    I was making leeks and scrambled eggs a lot for breakfast. Frying leeks calms the flavor down a bit. We grilled them straight up with just salt, burned them a bit. Crunchy with a bite, that was good. Other than that, in soups or just chopped up on hot dogs or whatever is pretty much it. Leek and ham is a big thing here, it's ok but I wouldn't make it at home.

    Wait - we put leeks in meatballs once. Beef/pork based meatballs with leeks and a ton of parsley. Cut it with rice, that was pretty good also. Pizza also, made homemade pizza with leaks.

    Just a thought, haven't tried this but I'm guessing that leeks in a homemade salsa would be pretty decent with fresh cilantro and basil.

    I've had many a day when my poop smelled like it was lightly sauteed with garlic and onion. I know what it does to you but it tastes great and it's very good for you.

    What was the recipe for leeks and eggs? Just like onions and eggs? It sounds good. I'm always trying to add more vegetables to my diet. Maybe you could add the leeks to a pat of butter (1/2 a serving-Mister D watches his figure ) and then pour the beaten eggs on top? I actually prefer crunchy onions and leeks. I even eat raw garlic in salads. Sliced VERY thin of course. The pungency is the best part, IMO. When garlic ore onions cook for a long time (outside of a liquid) they get sweet and that honestly turns my stomach. Roasted garlic is, IMHO, absolutely disgusting.

    I usually moisten my meatballs with raw onion. I usually use lean meat so the onions help the meat withstand the simmering. It works well and I see no reason I couldn't try it with leeks. Thanks. I'm getting hungry though.

    I need to contribute to this thread. I will soon.

    Nothing special about leeks and eggs recipe wise. I'd just fry the leeks in hot butter for a few minutes (salted and peppered to taste) and dump the pre-cracked eggs right into it and whip it good.

    Put a slice or two of provolone (farm made provolone if you can get it, or mozzarerlla (sp?)) and whooooooo, damn!

    Razor blades for garlic if you want it thin, or if your knives are sharp. If you're like me, your knives are like sledgehammers. Buy razor blades.

    I'll use the mandolin for the slicing. No fuss, no muss.

    I'm pretty simple when it comes to breakfast myself. I'll try this Saturday morning. I'll pick up some leeks on my way back from happy hour on Friday.

    What? Mandolin? Isn't that like a ukelele?

    Gives a new meaning to the term "axe".



    Drunk, at the grocery store buying leeks.

    Here's one. I'm up in NH getting some final $#@! finalized. Nothing in the house, I'm sleeping on the floor on sleeping bags. So I stop at the grocery store and buy a half case of beer (Red Hook ESB), a single roll of toilet paper and a half chicken.

    ... and I got carded. Go figure.

    Nice! Forgot about this thread...that looks like a good recipe. I got my French Oven working so I'm going to be making a lot of soups and stews. I really wanted to slow cook our turkey this year but my pops was running the show. It turned out dry and tough

    Turkey is supposed to be somewhat dry. That's what the gravy is for!
