It is everywhere; signs saying where to buy them, where to eat them etc. Every restaurant seems to have a special Spargel menu; on pizzas, with pasta, in salads.... It simply never ends. And they are delicious!swenglishexpathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06102783327902959539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12508552.post-89076442301750476632008-05-07T03:15:00.000+02:002008-05-07T03:15:00.000+02:002008-05-07T03:15:00.000+02:00You have to peel the white ones? is it because they are so big?<BR/><BR/>Asparagus sandwich?

I figured it out over the last few weeks of eating it. I absolutely prefer the thin green kind myself, but I haven't been able to find it for the last three weeks, so we have been eating white. I made a hollandaise once, but I really just prefer salt and pepper and lemon. <BR/>I just got a hand mixer- I think the next thing will be a small food processor so I can stop making my potato soup by hand and can actually make spargel suppe this season.G in Berlinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11168975470282994167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12508552.post-71270402614393514282008-05-05T19:34:00.000+02:002008-05-05T19:34:00.000+02:002008-05-05T19:34:00.000+02:00*sob*<BR/><BR/>Homesick!!!!Charlottehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13382967097578165008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12508552.post-87673365369112133452008-05-05T19:26:00.000+02:002008-05-05T19:26:00.000+02:002008-05-05T19:26:00.000+02:00May sounds like a tasty month where you live.The Grunthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03845796879498225434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12508552.post-91154207747983532542008-05-05T18:30:00.000+02:002008-05-05T18:30:00.000+02:002008-05-05T18:30:00.000+02:00I never thought I'd find myself envious of asparagus season, but I do now. It must be time for lunch...<BR/><BR/>An asparagus festival sounds worthy and healthy than the usual festivals in the southeast. Big Pig Jig, Gnat days, bolweevil festival, cornbread festival, Pinetree festival, and of course the Jug festival.patcheshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12326141253899975708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12508552.post-65065010630608071962008-05-05T15:39:00.000+02:002008-05-05T15:39:00.000+02:002008-05-05T15:39:00.000+02:00Ahh, like Fiddle-Head season in Canada.

We always had white asparagus when I was growing up, but I find that it is not as tender now (more stringy) than I remember from my youth.kenjuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07342414519714356343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12508552.post-44621683513356204312008-05-05T13:18:00.000+02:002008-05-05T13:18:00.000+02:002008-05-05T13:18:00.000+02:00Totally addictive! And white spargel freezes really well - peeled, blanched - you can eat it for a few months longer. I miss it, but managed to have some when I was there over Easter. We had some scrawny green stems here in Cairo.. no comparison. <BR/><BR/>Oh, and don't the German's have a festival for EVERYTHING!

However, when I have a chance to go out and have white spargel served to me, I jump at it.Charlottehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14976147051582732043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12508552.post-18598026423810553032008-05-05T11:42:00.000+02:002008-05-05T11:42:00.000+02:002008-05-05T11:42:00.000+02:00i wanted to be the first to make a joke about your pee smelling funny... i just couldn't think of anything at this hour.Dan-Ehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12734702852120937927noreply@blogger.com
