I read a food study that said men more than woman liked Asparugus.
I wouldnt know it by the chats at the asparugus section.
I do know by the women who buy it like me at high cost or if it looks a bit rough/tough that it is a hard veggie to grow.
Takes 2years or was it 3 for the first harvest if ya get that far (consider we live in the PNW coastal). But it continues to harvest for 22yrs that is why they sometimes have thick stems them are the aged crops.
As far as beer I drank it alot when young love the stuff but just picky about brew.
Dont anymore except a few in the summer but more than a couple make that condition flare up where the big toe feels like ya broke it..
Used to be a beer from Arizona that had a whole chili in it Chilli beer have not seen that in years.
I never used to like asparagus and then my grandmother made some for me with some cheese and I grew to like it...even without the cheese. :)
