LOL - I avoided asparagus like the plague.
Then I had some grilled asparagus with butter.
It replaced my standard steamed broccoli every time I was able to go to a steak house.
Now I like to make Asparagus in butter, in a skillet, with a little lemon juice, chopped onion and to top it off, a little bacon in there (plus some other spices).
Good, good, good stuff.
It's not just power to asparagus, it's even worse. It's white power to asparagus, those evil asparagosupremacists. The SPLC will be on them shortly, lol.
But seriously, though, asparagus is one of those love-hate vegetables. What most people typically encounter is disgusting, it's bitter and makes your bodily fluids smell like asparagus. Baby asparagus lightly steamed with bearnaise is nice, though, and I've had it grilled that was good, too. The key seems to be to not let it grow too large, like cucumbers or even wild greens like poke salad. Of course poke is poisonous when mature, so you can't even eat that unless it's picked when young shoots.
At my house during asparagus season I cook up a couple of pounds of asparagus and make a big bowl of hollandaise sauce and we all take bowls of sauce and DIP. What a great meal.
I have a terrific Blender Hollandaise that comes from the Joy of Cooking that hits the spot.
Forget the asparagus and eat the bacon.
What about the ol’asparagus pee stink problem?
Has science found a cure yet?
I like asparagus too
Commies, not so much.......
I love asparagus especially the way you mentioned. Yum. However, if I walked in that restaurant and saw that picture, I’d walk out. How obscene to have those people on the wall.
Throw in a few drops of Worcestershire sauce. Had that once at a fancy restaurant. Lemon, butter, and Worcestershire.
