Leek, also called shuss in the realms surrounding the Sea of Fallen Stars, whitebolt on the Sword Coast, and dlunlaer across the Shining South, was a green vegetable with long leaf quills with its stem being the edible part. It was related to onions, garlics, and scallions, and chives.[1]

In Cormanthor and the Dalelands, leeks were cooked into nut-and-leek gravy to be served with stag meat.[3] The stuffed turkey pie from The Watchful Eye inn of Essembra included leeks among its ingredients.[4]

The bowl of hares dish from the Oak-Father's Boon in Mosstone, Tethyr, also included diced leeks.[6]
