Ditto that! Having our scapes roasted with a light sprinkle of fennel seeds, cumin, salt, white pepper, with a very underdone slab of tuna....mmm! We leave around 20 leeks in over winter just for the scapes. I believe scape soup is also a winner...

Also good for making/freezing large rolls of garlic butter, which saves your cloves for other things.  :tongue2: Which is handy for when you have cheesy garlic bread munchies (or is that just me  :unsure: )
