Ramps
Allium tricoccum
This low-growing plant looks, smells, and tastes like onion and is served in US cuisine
You can sometimes find this plant sold in markets or served in restaurants. It is illegal to collect from the wild in Quebec, but elsewhere can be mindfully harvested. Do not overeat, as large amounts can be emetic.
