Are leeks still OK to eat?
There are just a few left - and they are going to seed.
They have a solid bit in the middle - but they taste all right - I've
been eating them raw, thinly sliced, in salads.
Just thought I'd better check they're not poisonous or anything!

Why would they be suddenly poisonous?

They are perfectly edible but do get to resemble old boots! The central
hard bit is the flower stalk.
