Anyone familiar with these things in the wild? Anyone growing them?

Don't need to grow them in the area where I live in true upstate NY b'c they're everywhere.
They speak of Spring, they speak of pulling a mess of them and just sitting and eating them and sometimes I even shake the dirt off the bulbs.
Folks around here make ramp casseroles, use them in salads, on sandwiches, in soups and who knows what else. As for me, I like them pulled straight from the ground and pretty much eaten on the spot.
You've just reminded me that it's been three years since I went on ramp eating expeditions. And that's b/c after falling in Dec of 2004 I've been in a walker which doesn't lend itself to getting to where they are.
So......methinks it's time to ask someone to go with me and then let them do the harvesting.
