Stalking asparagus
Thank you for pointing out that it is perfectly wonderful to eat those thick, fat asparagus (Good Eating, June 2, 2010).
I was shopping at an open-air community market Saturday, and my friends passed up and commented on what I thought was thicker grown, but fresh, beautiful asparagus. Each one said, “Oh, that’s too thick; they’ll be tough.” I couldn’t believe my ears after eating those “tough” green delights for years!
Keep buying those skinny stalks, and leave those plump beauties for me to enjoy!
