“If you can mock a leek, you can eat a leek.” – William Shakespeare, Henry V. Leeks? Love ’em. (Just like lemons, ginger, chocolate, and all the other beloved foods I’ve already mentioned.) Red onions, scallions, shallots, leeks – I pretty much love them all. Which is funny because as a kid, I hated anything at all piquant, like onions or mustard or peppers. I guess my taste buds have grown up, because I can seriously get down for spicy these days.
