And I find leeks to be a pain in the ass to prepare. You have to get
all of that grit out of there, etc.

I deal with this by slitting them once lengthwise, from about 3/4 inch
from the root end, all the way to the other end. Then the sand
can be rinsed out without the leek falling apart.

Good method, I just can't justify the effort.  I have never found
leeks particularly essential or appetizing.  But while we're on the
subject of leeks, who in the world buys that horrible Knorr dried leek
soup?  Is it anything like those God-awful Lipton onion soup packets?

I have never bought dried soup for anything.  My mom used to use the onion
soup for pot roast and so did my husband.  I just use real onions.

Yeah, but... plain onions don't add the same flavor... I use Pensey's
dehy toasted onions... just onions, no salt.  I keep plain dehy onions
too, comes in very handy when all you need is a little onion or you
forgot to buy onions.http://www.penzeys.com/cgi-bin/penzeys/p-penzeysonions.html- Hide quoted text -
