COLD CREAM OF ASPARAGUS SOUP IS THE MOST DELICIOUS THING IN CREATION

I am eating asparagus RIGHT NOW

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.

and it was Meades that said Germany was all about potatoes.

I had asparagus last night and again today! I made hollandaise for the first time and felt so fancy.

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.

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!?!?!

I am embaressed hahah

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.

i think the thread title = i've got a date with some asparagus i.e. plan to eat it.

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

Veggies and grains in the club is like sushi at the ballpark. Nah man, gimme a funnel cake and a shitty hot dog with some beer.

Kinda wonder how much broccoli & bulgur is actually being eaten at 3am in NL, compared to oily pommes frites and sausages
