Barb, they are tougher than chives or scallions and will retain some
toothiness in a fast stir fry. I add them to salad for that bit of
crunch and use them in rice or veggies. I use them in scampi, too.

We had them this morning in a veggie salad of cukes, tomatoes, onions
and mixed with cottage cheese and a bit of sour cream.

Oh, use the bulbs, too.

We pick our scapes when they are thin and relatively tender. We got
some with our weekly CSA farm pick up and they are big muthas and will
take more cooking to be yummy.
