Never had leek? How can that be possible?
Leek and potato soup is a regular of mine; I also make cullen skink (leeks and smoked haddock again!). Leeks can also be used as an ordinary green vegetable.
Papersatan:
omg, never had a leek! I also make a lot of potato leek soup. They are also frequently in the mix when I roast root vegetables. Also sometimes I just cook them up to eat.
They are a little onioney I guess, but not at all overpowering. And they have this lovely squeeky texture, a little like cabbage I guess, but they don't taste at all like cabbage.
Lines:
Well, to be fair, I doubt my mom ever used one for cooking and I've never used a recipe that has actually called for them. They don't really seem to be a popular thing around here... I know I've seen them before, but definitely have never eaten one. But if they are squeaky, I may have an issue with them anyways. (I can't eat mushrooms because of how fresh ones squeak. Weirds me out.)
pwhodges:
Even if that could be an issue in leeks cooked on their own, it certainly wouldn't be in the soups we mention.
Lines:
If I ever make a soup that isn't chicken noodle (which is the only one I've made from scratch), I'll give them a shot. Or maybe chuck them in with a roast or stew or something.
