PS NO wine goes with asparagus. Let me know if you find one.
This makes them bright green, still with a bit of crispiness, but not raw and not soggy and limp.

Also, sauvignon blanc can have notable asparagus undertones, making it a good match. It's kind of a classic match in certain areas of France, actually.
― Clarke B. (Clarke B.), Wednesday, 3 March 2004 03:16 (twenty years ago) link
I'll probably make it with tabasco sauce or chile pepper, just cause I can't remember the last time I had asparagus without hot sauce or cayenne, so it would maybe taste funny if I started now.

you guys, asparagus pesto is A++++; had generous dollops on sauteed tilapia
― Grisly Addams (WmC), Thursday, 27 May 2010 23:36 (thirteen years ago) link
Asparagus is one of those things that I love because it's expensive or unavailable for a lot of the year, then you get a small window where it's cheap and you get sick of eating it that you need 10 months off until you really want it again. I might have to make pesto with it this weekend.
I think broccoli and asparagus are probably co-kings of the vegetable world. I actually felt kind of sick from eating too much broccoli last week.

I went to Germany about two months ago and have had the word SPARGELZEIT! stuck in my head ever since.
My hotel had an all-asparagus menu.

just did about a week in innsbruck and munich, they really love that fat white asparagus over there.

Every time I see asparagus in a shop the words "asparagus appointment" come into my mind.
― Heavy Doors (jed_), Friday, 23 June 2017 01:33 (six years ago) link
I’m going to bite… I’ve never got what the "asparagus appointment" title here is referring to.
Bought my first asparargus of the year today though.
Also, saw this today too:
My mind is BLOWN!! How are we still eating burgers and chips in the U.K. after raving and clubbing when our age mates in Amsterdam have food spots inside of the club serving grilled ASPARAGUS & BROCCOLI over BULGUR WHEAT with a GINGER shot at 5am!?!?!

Wow. I can't believe UKers call asparagus 'asparagus'. You'd think with calling eggplants 'aubergines' and zucchini 'courgette', you must have a French sounding name for asparagus, too.
― hoonja doonja love me anymore (Deflatormouse), Monday, 17 April 2023 22:16 (one year ago) link
i think the thread title = i've got a date with some asparagus i.e. plan to eat it.
― hoonja doonja love me anymore (Deflatormouse), Monday, 17 April 2023 22:18 (one year ago) link
The thread title was really familiar to me when I saw it again just now, and I now realise that every time I've cooked asparagus or talked about cooking asparagus in the last 20 years I've been going back to this thread without realising it. Simply in the oven with oil is more or less the recipe every time.
My partner's mother was an amazing cook. She'd come visit, all the way from Sweden, and turn a spring onion and a bit of ham in the fridge into something that would blow your mind. Last time she came, in 2019, she boiled asparagus for an hour and a half and looked puzzled when we laughed at its floppiness. That was the first sign. I say last visit though she is still alive, but it is the last one for sure.

I ordered an asparagus sandwich in Sydney once, at a small deli type thing
I had high hopes, but it was boiled-to-mush asparagus & margarine on white bread... pretty disappointing
